Ten Million is Latest

BROCKVILLE, Ont. (CP) — 'l‘h:icves who smashed into the vault of the Brockville Tr - and Savings Company last weekend may have made off with the big- gest haul in North American his- tory.

The Recorder and Times said Wednesday an “official source,” which it did not identify, has placed the total loot at nearly $l0.000.000.

The source estimated the value of r eg i s t ere d securities and stocks at nearly $7,000,000 along with $2,250,000 in bearer bonds. $20,000 in ca-sh and an undeter- mined amount of jewelry.

Previously the largest robbery in North American records was 16 months ago when thieves rifled 132 safety deposit boxes in a Montreal bank. Police estimated between $4,000,000 and $8,000,000

worth of valuables were taken——1

they said an exact tally of the boxes’ contents was impossible to make.

Officials of Brockville Trust and Savings. a branch of the Montreal Trust Company, have refused to confirm or deny The Recorder and Ti-mes report. Tues-

day company officials estimated‘

the total at $3,765,000. On Mon- day they gave the figure as $2,- 265,000.

Only the bearer bonds, which make up about a quarter of the reported total, are negotiable by the thieves, officials said earlier. The registered bonds can only be marketed by those to whom they are registered.

NAB SECOND SUSPECT

Police in Montreal Wednesday picked up a second suspect for questioning in the robbery.

One Montreal report said the man was also being questioned in connection with another trust company robbery there last Jan- uary. T h e report adds that three other suspects now are be- ing sought and that two others-— a man and a woman—were ques- ioned Tuesday night and re- leased. <'

Officers of the Montreal police, the Brockville police, Ontario Provincial Police and the RCMP are co-operating in an intensive hunt.for other suspects.

Earlier Wednesday one Mont- real investigator was asked to comment on a report the Brock- ville loot might reach $7,500,000.
