If the $230,000 from the 1961 Havelock bank robbery is still hidden near Bancroft, it might be worth investing in a pick and shovel

. . . The robbery of payroll money for local miners, was committed back in the early sixties, the old drunk had said -- at the Toronto-Dominion Bank, in the town of Havelock, perched, as it is, on the north side of Highway 7 on the eastbound approach to Madoc.

. . . . none of the money from the Havelock bank robbery has ever been recovered.

MANY THEORIES

Theories abound, of course.

Barker claims to have been told that the canvas bag containing the loot was weighted down and chucked into Round Lake.

Another story has it being buried deep in the ground between Coe Hill and Gilmour, in an area known as The Ridge which, if the old drunk's story has credence, tends to fill the bill of the fence-line scenario.

There was a report, as well, that two empty milk cans were stolen from a dairy farm the night before the robbery and, if that is the case, then the money would still be safe and sound today if stored in those containers -- even 45 years later. . . . .
