Hooded Bandits Force Teller In Bank Robbery YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) Three hooded men invaded the home of bank teller Robert A. Macaulay, got the keys to a branch of the Mahoning National Bank and escaped with more than $30,000 early today. One official guessed the loot from the night depository, swoi )en with receipts from pre Christ mas business at Boardman Plaza shopping center, might be as high as $100,000. Roy J. Bowman, manager of the Drancn at nearby Boardman, es timated the loss at $50,000. basing his guess also on the amount of money normally found in the de pository after a busy weekend at the big shopping center. Hazel Macaulay, the teller's wife, said she asked the hooded men, who were waiting when the Macaulayi returned home Sun day night: "Why do you pick on us? This is the third time." This is the third big holdup of the branch, and Macaulay has been involved in each of them, I Macaulav said the men were armed with a sawed-off shotgun and pistols. He said the three forced him to reveal the combina tion to the night depository. The men prodded - him with a fhotgun, Macaulay said, and when he finally gave them the combina tion numbers they hinted that his family would be in danger u me numbers were wrong, ., The holdup men apparently were familiar with operations at the bank and knew that a key was required to get into the deposi tory, as well as the combination. They made Macaulay tell them where that key was hidden In the bank, he. told police. Then, while one of them stood guard over the Macaulay. family, the other two look Macaulay's keys to the bank doors and left, returning about 3 a.m., he said. The three fled in Macaulay's car, leaving the teller and a 14-year-old son, Richard, tied. Mrs. Macaulay and another son, David. I. were not tied. The home tele phone had been ripped from the wan. The car was found abandoned not far from the house. The first holdup of the bank branch was Aug. 1, 1M7, when a man look $31,000 from Macau lay's window, Macaulay said thatl holdup man had threatened him, saying Macaulay's family was be ing held hostage.
