Mugs and Masks: The Great North Side Heist

On a sweltering summer evening, July 27, 1925, the streets of Indianapolis were abuzz with the whispers of two daring robberies. In a daring daylight heist, Harold Green, a 309 Prospect Street resident, and his companion, Miss Bertha Pointer of 3650 N. Capitol Avenue, fell prey to a cunning thief. Green recounted the harrowing tale to Lieutenant Johnson, detailing how they had just left a local hotspot when a man, likely armed and desperate, swooped in and relieved them of their valuables.
