This New York FBI file concerns the armed 1969 hijacking of a Railroad Express Agency truck carrying furs in Manhattan. A contemporaneous FBI interview reports that two armed men kidnapped the driver, placed him in a sedan, and drove away with the truck. The released material is chiefly evidence-vault inventory paperwork, arrest and interview logs, fingerprint records, waiver forms, photographs, court records, and receipts for personal property and fur items. The records identify Thomas J. DeSimone in arrest-related entries from October 1974 and March 1975, while inventories and property-retention records extend into 1978; James Burke is listed in connection with a certified conviction record.
