t Derno ■ Iwrsday, April 16, 1942 Armitage Drug Store Robbed Of Narcotics Exact Time of Robbery Not Determined by Au thorities Veinonia stores and residences apparently are becoming popular with those of a thieving nature if cne c n judge by the number of r bberies which have occured he.«* in the past few months. To cap two previous robberies, the Armitage Drug Store was forcibly entered late Sunday night or early Monday mo-ning of this week and a con siderable amount of narcotics and money trken. Time Not Known y A definite time lor the break was not determined by authorities, some judging the robbery to have occured befo.te midnight Sunday and others after the midnight hour on Monday.

Taken from the store was $74 in paper money and approximately $1- 00 in narcotics, cocaine and mor phine being the two drugs lost.
