SHOPPING LIST SOLVES CASE
Ringwood Bank was robbed yesterday. More
than a million dollars in cash and gold was
stolen.
25
Two armed robbers broke into the bank at 7:30
5 in the morning. The alarm system wasn’t
working, so nobody outside the bank knew that
a robbery was going on.
Only one person was inside – a bank worker
who was getting ready to open the bank. One of 30
10 the robbers ran up to her, threatened her with
his gun and gave her a note. When she read the
note, she laughed.
The robber shouted at her, “I’m serious! Bring
me the money or I’ll shoot!” 35
15 The bank worker left the room and returned
with bags of money. The robbers took the bags
and ran out of the bank and into a car. The bank
worker called the police to report the theft, and
detectives arrived five minutes later.
20 She told the detectives, “The robbers were
wearing masks, so I didn’t see their faces.”

TEST UNIT 6
They were also wearing gloves – so they didn’t
leave any fingerprints. But the bank worker had
the robber’s note, which she gave to the
detectives.
The note said:
Harry,
Please buy milk and eggs!
Love,
Lucy
The detectives said the note was proof that the
robber was Harry Martin from the Martin gang,
because Harry Martin’s wife is Lucy. The
police think the second robber and the driver
were probably members of the gang.
The Martin gang is wanted in connection with
the theft of paintings from the Ringwood
Museum last month.
Police hope to arrest the gang today.
