Thieves Make Off with $12,000 Worth of Woolens, Philadelphia PA, 1919

Philadelphia’s Main Line was hit by a brazen gang of thieves last week, netting them a haul of $12,000 worth of woolens. The first heist took place at 1610 Conshohocken Avenue, where tailor shop owner M. Truhan’s business was broken into. The thieves made off with $5,000 worth of cloth. But the Main Line was hit again, this time at a home on Malvern Street and Spring Garden, where yet another $7,000 worth of woolens vanished into thin air. The thieves were cunning, using a motor truck to make their getaway. And the police were left scrambling to untangle the threads of a complex web of clues. The people of Philadelphia are on edge, wondering who’s behind these daring heists.
