Charlotte, April 12 (AP)—Yeggmen operating early yesterday blew two safes at Ivey’s department store here, and escaped with more than $6,000 in currency.
This became known today when it was announced at police headquarters.
The burglars also left more than $13,000 in checks scattered about on the floor near the vault.
Police are working on the theory that the men entered the building by climbing on top of the five-story structure on the rear fire escape ad came down to the third floor on a freight elevator. The general officers are located on that floor.
Tracks of two men were plainly discernible, but officers expressed the opinion that four were in the party.
The loot was taken from the store in a suitcase purloined from the building. Nothing else was missing.
