“I WANT YOUR MONEY!”
Commit tod with the utmost coolness and effrontery, a masked robbery at Kinrael Park Camp, near Rhyl, is being investigated by the police. The scene of the robbery is a branch of the National Provincial Bank, Ltd., situated near the high road and near the most deserted portion of the camp, the Canadians having left that district. A -senior and junior clerk were on duty, when shortly after twelve o’clock two men dressed in khaki entered and advanced to the counter. One had a handkerchief over his head, but the other was not masked, although he kept his head turned away. The masked man went to the counter and said to the clerk, “I want your money.” The notes are usually kept on a shelf, and while the masked man covered the clerk with the re. volver his companion went behind the counter and seized about £7O in notes, the major portion being 10s notes. The man with the money then went out, while the masked man covered his retreat, and then backed out. The clerks, as soon as they had recovered from their fright, went after them, and saw the men miming towards the deserted huts in the camp. They were soon lost to view.
