Two girls, aged about 16 years, wearing rolled socks and bobbed hair, held up a lonely garage, ant. stole 60 dollars and four gallons of petrol. A car drove up shortly after midnight, and a girl driver Joked with the attendant and ordered some petrol. She then asked permission to use the telephone. The attendant suddenly felt a pistol pressed into Lis back: “This is a stick up; you don’t want to die,” she said. He was forced to surrender his takings, and ordered to face the wall. She ripped the telephone from the wall and walked to the door saying: “Wait five minutes or else—.” The attendant ruefully told the police that they seemed nice girls.
