Frau Gertrude does not forget her roots and is very fond of Walther PPK.

A new campaign highlighting robbery was launched in Bedfordshire earlier this week. Entitled ‘Stay Safe: Help put ‘Robin’ Robber’ Behind Bars…Bedfordshire Police wants to know who is committing robbery where you live…’ it is designed to reduce crime, detect crime and de-assure offenders.

 

Life size cut outs of ‘Robin Robber’ seen ‘behind bars’, or in this case park railings, have been put up in areas of Luton and Bedford that are popular with the public to act as a deterrent to would-be offenders who are thinking about committing crime.

 

Jo Hobbs, Media Relations Manager said: “We are trying something new with this campaign and using psychological warfare to de-assure criminals, but also show the public we are making a dent and reducing crime. The signs inform the public that 461 ‘robbers’ have been arrested already this year. “. The campaign also educates the public to what is defined as robbery.

 

A robbery is when a person uses or threatens to use force to steal. It is more serious than theft and you can be guilty of robbery even if you are just part of a group that robbed someone. Robbery carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Threatening someone in order to take possessions from them is not bullying, but robbery and convictions for this offence carry a custodial sentence.

 

There are 10 signs in total; which have been placed in Luton and Bedford. Robin’ Robber is also being promoted on-line via the force website and all social media channels. For more information on the campaign, click here.

  

At Bedfordshire Police our aim is "fighting crime, protecting the public.",

 

We cover 477 square miles, serve a population of around 550,000 and employ in the region of 1,260 Police Officers, 950 police staff and 120 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). For more details about the force, visit our website www.bedfordshire.police.uk

Update: A 45-year-old Cary man has been arrested in connection with the robbery at Fifth Third Bank on Wednesday in Woodstock.

 

Michael Feterick, also known as Michael Retterly, was charged with bank robbery in federal court today. He remains in custody and was scheduled to make his first court appearance at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Iain D. Johnston, according to a release issued by the U.S. Department of Justice.

 

The charges carry a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison, a fine up to $250,000 and full restitution, the release said.

 

According to the complaint, Feterick entered Fifth Third Bank, located at 1745 S. Eastwood Dr., at about 10:50 a.m. and presented the teller with a note written with a black Sharpie pen stating, "Money, no dye pack." The teller gave Feterick the money from her drawer, according to the release.

 

Feterick was arrested late Wednesday at an Algonquin hotel by FBI agents and police officers from Woodstock and Crystal Lake, the release said.

  

Original Article:

No charges have been filed in connection with the robbery of the Fifth Third Bank in Crystal Lake on March 30.

The man who robbed the Fifth Third Bank is Woodstock on Wednesday is likely the same person who robbed another Fifth Third Bank branch in Crystal Lake on March 30, according to the FBI.

 

The FBI, who arrived on the scene about one hour after the heist, released surveillance photographs of the man who robbed the Woodstock bank at about 10:50 a.m. April 15. The bank is located at 1745 S. Eastwood Dr. in a stand-alone brick building next to the Quality Inn, near the intersection of Routes 14 and 47. The man did not display a weapon, and fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to police.

 

The suspect wore a blue hooded sweatshirt with "New York" stenciled on the front, sunglasses and hat. He is described as a white man with brown hair, about 37 years old, weighing about 180 pounds and standing between 5-feet-10-inches to 6-feet tall, according to FBI spokesperson Diane Carbonara in the Chicago office.

 

A police K-9 unit from the city of McHenry was immediately brought to the scene. Police were working to determine whether the suspect ran to an awaiting car, or if multiple getaway vehicles were involved. Woodstock Deputy Chief John Lieb said the department did not plan to issue additional information until he had was able to give one confirmed report. Police were still working Friday afternoon to gather evidence and interview employees located inside the bank.

 

Shortly after the robbery was reported, one person inside the bank reported having symptoms of a heart attack. After being checked by emergency personnel, that person was feeling better, a witness at the scene said.

 

The man suspected of robbing the Fifth Third Bank in Crystal Lake last month wore a red hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and grey hat. The robbery occurred at 4:18 p.m. at the branch, located at 265 W. Virginia St. (Route 14), and the suspect ran away on foot. The robber was never found.

 

Anyone with information about the robbery should contact the FBI-Chicago office at 312-421-6700.

Still from "Black Hole-Bank Robbery" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCp_j7voZo4)

U.S. Marshals hustle a face-covered Eros Timm, charged with murdering police officer William Sigmon during a savings and loan robbery, into a preliminary hearing on the charges June 11, 1971.

 

On May 25, 1971 Lawrence Caldwell, Timm and Heidi Ann Fletcher robbed a savings and loan company at Arizona Avenue and MacArthur Blvd. NW, Washington, D.C.

 

There had been a spate of bank robberies across the District and police had staked out this savings and loan.

 

As the two men made their way out of the bank to their getaway van driven by Fletcher, two police officers burst from the back of the loan company.

 

Caldwell and Timm said their guns were tucked away when officer William Sigmon opened fire.

 

Caldwell wrote a letter to the Washington Post explaining his version:

 

“We were coming out of the parking lot with our backs to the door when I heard, ‘alright, hold it right there,’ Our guns were in our pockets, his was drawn. We turned to him and he fired! At that point it became an escape or die situation.”

 

As Sigmon pursued Timm, the officer took up a defensive position below a stairwell. Caldwell came up behind him at shot him in the back, striking his heart. Timm was wounded in the shoot-out.

 

The three made their escape, but hours later they were stopped in their van on Connecticut Avenue near Van Ness shopping center and arrested for murder, among other charges.

 

Caldwell claimed they were conducting bank robberies in order to buy a farm they hoped to use as a base for revolutionary activity.

 

Caldwell had a history of political activism and was arrested during a February 1970 march on the Watergate home of Attorney General John Mitchell protesting the convictions of the Chicago 7. He was one of the plaintiffs in a suit against police that resulted in the dropping of all charges against the 142 arrested that day.

 

He claimed that the three struck against financial institutions not for personal monetary gain, but instead to strike a blow against “banking institutions, stock exchanges, et. al.”

 

Fletcher, the daughter of a former deputy mayor of Washington, D.C., pled guilty and received an indeterminate sentence under the Youth Corrections Act. She served 53 months before being released.

 

Timm and Caldwell received life sentences. Timm was murdered in prison in 1983. Caldwell pursued somewhat of a career in prison as a jailhouse lawyer and an escape artist. He was skilled enough at brief writing to obtain hearings, sometimes winning cases including winning damages against the District of Columbia for denying him medical attention.

 

He tried many times to escape and succeeded for 14 months, but was recaptured. He was ultimately released in December 2003 after 33 years.

 

Caldwell recalled after his release, “There was a saying: ‘Kill a commie for Christ.’ So we said, ‘Off a pig for Krishna.’”

I spotted this very new and very modern half-door recently in Cong, County Mayo and it brought to mind an interesting facet of this very Irish piece of vernacular architecture that is worth retelling.

 

In the 1690s English monarch William III was short of money, which he attempted to rectify by the introduction of a Window Tax. As the name suggests, this was a tax levied on the windows of a property. The upper classes, having the largest houses, paid the most. Some wealthy individuals used their ability to pay as a mark of status and demonstrated their wealth by ostentatiously building homes with many windows.

 

However, people generally went to great pains to avoid paying the tax and many windows were bricked up for that very reason.

 

Irish cottagers developed their own unique and innovative approach to avoid paying the tax by inventing the half-door. It was possible to leave the bottom half closed, thus keeping children in and chickens and other animals out; while leaving the top half open thus maximizing the amount of light coming in. Because the light coming through was from a door, rather than a window, they avoided paying the tax, and in the process became daylight robbers!

 

Paddy was always creative in finding ways of not paying tax!

There was just a robbery at gunpoint inside the Maple Lanes bowling alley on 60th Street and 16th Avenue. The NYPD is looking for two black males who robbed someone at gunpoint in the building. According to initial report, both suspect are armed with guns. The NYPD has called a Level 1 Mobilization response, and officers are canvassing the area. EMS has been requested to respond to the bowling alley as well.

 

Sources tell BoroParkScoop.com that the robbery occurred in the basement of the establishment, and $80,000 was taken. We have not been able to independently confirm this info as of this time.

 

Any further details will be published.

A 1972 letter from Lawrence Caldwell, who shot and killed officer William Sigmon during a savings and loan robbery in Washington, D.C. in 1971, explains his side of the story.

 

On May 25, 1971 Lawrence Caldwell, Eros Timm and Heidi Ann Fletcher robbed a savings and loan company at Arizona Avenue and MacArthur Blvd. NW, Washington, D.C.

 

There had been a spate of bank robberies across the District and police had staked out this savings and loan.

 

As the two men made their way out of the bank to their getaway van driven by Fletcher, two police officers burst from the back of the loan company.

 

Caldwell and Timm said their guns were tucked away when officer William Sigmon opened fire.

 

Caldwell wrote a letter to the Washington Post explaining his version:

 

“We were coming out of the parking lot with our backs to the door when I heard, ‘alright, hold it right there,’ Our guns were in our pockets, his was drawn. We turned to him and he fired! At that point it became an escape or die situation.”

 

As Sigmon pursued Timm, the officer took up a defensive position below a stairwell. Caldwell came up behind him at shot him in the back, striking his heart. Timm was wounded in the shoot-out.

 

The three made their escape, but hours later they were stopped in their van on Connecticut Avenue near Van Ness shopping center and arrested for murder, among other charges.

 

Caldwell claimed they were conducting bank robberies in order to buy a farm they hoped to use as a base for revolutionary activity.

 

Caldwell had a history of political activism and was arrested during a February 1970 march on the Watergate home of Attorney General John Mitchell protesting the convictions of the Chicago 7. He was one of the plaintiffs in a suit against police that resulted in the dropping of all charges against the 142 arrested that day.

 

He claimed that the three struck against financial institutions not for personal monetary gain, but instead to strike a blow against “banking institutions, stock exchanges, et. al.”

 

Fletcher, the daughter of a former deputy mayor of Washington, D.C., pled guilty and received an indeterminate sentence under the Youth Corrections Act. She served 53 months before being released.

 

Timm and Caldwell received life sentences. Timm was murdered in prison in 1983. Caldwell pursued somewhat of a career in prison as a jailhouse lawyer and an escape artist. He was skilled enough at brief writing to obtain hearings, sometimes winning cases including winning damages against the District of Columbia for denying him medical attention.

 

He tried many times to escape and succeeded for 14 months, but was recaptured. He was ultimately released in December 2003 after 33 years.

 

Caldwell recalled after his release, “There was a saying: ‘Kill a commie for Christ.’ So we said, ‘Off a pig for Krishna.’”

Marengo, Illinois - 2/24/21

 

New details released show that the two suspects who shot a Marengo gas station clerk during a robbery last week did so even after he gave them money from the cash register.

 

Two men walked into the Circle K Shell gas station, 600 North State Street in Marengo, around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.

 

Suspect 1 held the clerk at gunpoint while he got the contents of the register, according to a police bulletin. Suspect 1 then ordered the clerk to open the safe and pistol-whipped the clerk on two occasions.

 

Suspect 2 was watching the door and then came behind the register and told the clerk he has three seconds. The suspect counted down and shot the clerk in the leg.

 

Additional threats were made to the clerk and one of the suspects said “Keith, Keith, come on,” according to the bulletin.

 

Both suspects left and are believed to have gotten into a white van that was seen driving northbound on State Street.

 

Marengo Police Department Sgt. Andrew Kjellgren said officers found the adult victim, identified as Brian Pemble, suffering from a gunshot wound.

 

Pemble was treated at the scene by paramedics and flown to Javon Bea Hospital in Rockford in stable condition, according to Marengo Fire Protection District Capt. Patrick Fanning.

 

The 35-year-old victim, an on-duty gas station clerk, was shot once in the leg during the robbery.

 

Suspect 1 is described as a male Hispanic, 25-35 years old, approximately 5-foot-4 or 5-foot 5, with a tattoo or mark on the right cheek, wearing a black hoodie with the text “DUCKIN BAD VIBES” on the chest and armed with a black semi-automatic handgun.

 

Suspect 2 is described as a male Hispanic, 25-35 years old, approximately 5-foot-8 to 6-foot-1, wearing a black jacket with a stripe on the shoulder and an unidentified white logo on the right chest, black jeans, tan boots and armed with a silver revolver.

 

The Aurora Police Department said on Friday that the suspects are linked to three armed robberies in their town.

 

One occurred around 7:30 p.m. Monday in the 100 block of South Broadway in Aurora and the second occurred around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday on that same block.

 

The third occurred around 9:55 p.m. Thursday in the 200 block of South Lake Street in Aurora.

 

Pemble’s wife, Melissa, started a fundraiser to help support their family of five kids while the father recovers from his injuries.

 

Melissa Pemble, a Capron resident, started the GoFundMe account, which has raised nearly $13,000 as of Monday.

 

Pemble said that her husband Brian is recovering from his injuries following the shooting, which occurred at his second job as a gas station clerk.

 

The money raised in the fundraiser will go towards medical bills and lost income.

 

Those who have information on any of the robberies are asked to call the Marengo Police Department at 815-568-7231 or the McHenry County Crime Stoppers at 800-762-7867.

Painted a toy squirt gun, and had a friend pose with it. On the screen it looked fine, but then I uploaded it onto here and realized how blury it is. Sigh.
