An explosive was used to open the strongroom.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to blow open a safe inside the strongroom. The lock was so damaged that the services of a locksmith were necessary this morning to open the door. A night watchman who was patrolling the block saw nothing to indicate what was going on.
