Liskeard Garageman Robbed Bound and Left in Bush "When you are held up at the point of a gun, you do as you're told, and hope for the best." © Harold McAllister, New Lis- keard businessman, his son Doug- ie, nine, and grandson Richard Pannel, five, left Mrs. McAllister at the Paddle Lake hunt camp last Sunday afternoon and started out on what promised to be a quiet cruise through bush roads _ look- ing for partridge. The hunt prom- ised to be a pleasant one, but ended in a nightmarish experi- ence. "We passed a couple of men on the old Crusin Road,' Mr. Mc- Allister recalled, "and travelled a little farther into the bush before = turning." "A short distance back I pull- ed up the car, and we got out to remove an old spruce that was blocking the road. It wasn't there when we passed in, and we could have bounced over it, but the thought of any need for this was far from our munds."' "As I leaned over the tree a rough voice ordered me to lie down, and a- character came from behind the tree, pointing a 30-30." "He again urged me to lie down, and said they were desperate. By this time the first man had been joined by another." "They tied my hands and feet, and did the same to Dougie, but they were satisfied to tie only the hands of Baby Ricky." The men then took Mr. McAl- lister's -wallet, with about $50 in it, and his watch valued at $70. Also stolen was a blank cheque for $100, a kit bag, glasses and sweater. '"'They even took my handkerchief,' said Mr. McAllis- ter, and when they said 'we are sorry to do this to you, but we are desperate', I feared for my life and that of the children." The men then drove their pri- soners to an abandoned car, where they tied Mr. McAllister and Dougie to a tree, and took off in the McAllister car. After the criminals had left, Dougie managed to free Rickey's hands, and the small child in turn freed him. Dougie than unloosed the clothes line binding his fath- er. The three walked back to camp, and found Clarence Connelly, a business associate who had drop- ped in for a visit. Mr. Connelly then drove the party to phone the police. It was learned that the stolen car came from the Peter- borough district. Mrs. McAllister had an uneasy time at the camp after her hus- band had left for the hunt, and had hidden her money and barr- ed the door to the camp. The stolen car, was sighted by police on Highway 11, near Wa- vell, and when they followed it, it turned into a side road, where the OPP cruiser bogged down. The police returned in a Jeep and found the McAllister car aband- oned in a ditch. Constable Florian Grabowski was the first to sight the car. Fingerprints were found on the steering wheel and on the rear view mirror, and it is understood that Mr. McAllister was able to identify at least one man from pictures provided by thé police. The car was recovered with little damage, the money and wal- let are still missing as are the 410 shotgun and the 22 rifle. Garageman George Cooper at Thornloe Corner was the first to establish that the men were tra- velling north in the stolen car. He said that two men drove in for gas, and when they couldn't tell him where the gas tank was he became suspicious. He advised the police, and confirmed the sus- picion that they had kept to the sideroads while travelling north.
