Barrow Bank Is
Robbed; Culprits
BARROW (An — The farthest
north bank in the United States,
The Miners & Merchants Bank of
Barrow was robbed for the third
time recently with the criminals
finally apprehended red-handed.
The two desperados, ages eight
1 and ten, were nabbed Dec. 29 by
a Barrow resident as they were
| emerging from the bank w t’l their
loot — a toy bank and a .38 caliber
* pistol.
Apprehended
, The two young Eskimos of this
' Arctic Ocean village when con
fronted by a State Trooper, parents
r and the local Magistrate, “clammed
up” about the whole deal and true
to the code of the underworld,
wouldn’t talk. But they didn’t have
to.
In this village of almost total
darkness this time of the year, the
State Trooper shined a flourescent
light on the youngster’s hands and
they glowed in the dark.
They didn’t know that the bank
had been dusted with a flourescent
powder, a trick well-known to
people from the modern television
world.
The police said that one of the
youngsters tried frantically to wipe
off the powder, while the other
simply broke down and with tears
in his eyes, “spilled the beans.”
k With the loot recovered and the
bank robberies solved, the two
wide-eyed youngsters were re
leased to spread the work of the
“sneaky ways” of the law to their
Arctic playmates.
