This released FBI file concerns a November 1971 armed hijacking in New York City involving a truck carrying women's fur coats. The bureau investigated the theft as an interstate-shipment case after gunmen took control of the truck, restrained its driver and helper, and removed a load valued at about $150,000. The records include a New York office teletype, investigative memoranda, and FBI Laboratory latent-fingerprint submissions and results. They show that the truck was recovered the next day and that latent prints were developed from air bills found in the cab, but the laboratory report records no identification from its searches.
