Hey Speaking of robberies - have you ever looked into this one?
"It was also in 1925 that Winnipeg had its greatest unsolved robbery. The Street Railway payroll, some $87,500.00 in cash, was snatched in an unparalleled daylight hold-up. The perpetrators of the robbery have never been caught."
I had read about it in passing but never followed it up. I will do so !!
I usually get the ideas for these types of posts for research I do for my daily history blog http://thiswaswinnipeg.blogspot.com/ if there's an interesting date or information with a lot of follow up stuff I will expand upon it an put it here. The one category I haven't really combed through yet for that post has been crime stories.

Cool story - believe criminal court registry records go back that far - check out Law Courts on Hargrave you may find something there.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I think I will follow this up and see how it all came out. A nice winter project !
ReplyDeleteFascinating story - thanks for posting this.
