These 1930s Midwest bank robbers had a distinctive calling card: cream cans filled with water

During the early morning hours of March 29, 1938, a gang of robbers stole over $2,000 from the Miltona State Bank in Miltona, Minnesota. That's almost $40,000 by today's standards. It was a late winter morning when a cashier's son was returning a borrowed typewriter to the Miltona State Bank and discovered a tampered vault door and an empty safe. Cans of cream, filled with water next to the safe, told the tale. The "Cream Can Gang" had struck again. ✍️: Thalen Zimmerman 🗣️: Kris Kerzman
