HELD UP BY TWO “NICE GIRLS”
United Press Association. —tty Electric Telegraph.—Copyright! (Received 11.30 a.m.)
RUTHERFORD (N.J.), Nov. 28
Two girls, aged about 16, wearing rolled stockings and bobbed hair, held up a lonely garage and stole 60 dollars in cash, plus four gallons of petrel.
They appeared shortly after midnight. The driver joked with the attendant, and ordered petrol, after which she asked permission to telephone. The attendant turned away while she pretended to search the directory for a number. He suddenly felt a pressure against his spine, and turned round to find the girl armed with a pistol.
‘'This if; a stick-up. You don’t want to die,” she said. Cockingher pistol, she forced him to surrender his takings, and ordered him to face the wall, after which she ripped the telephone from the wall and walked to the door, saying: “Wait five minutes, or else—”
The attendant ruefully told the police they had seemed “nice girls.”
