One of the pair who had gone in- side covered the bank staff with his pistol, while his companion went straight to a large drawer and tock from it all the money that was there, totalling $4.766.70. Then the two withdrew, and with the third member of the gang. walked off quickly. The hold-up had taken less than a minute.
