Shanghai Post Office Robbed – 1935

Frustratingly this small article from September 1935 doesn’t tell us which Post Office they’re exactly referring to. It was the first time the Shanghai Post Office was robbed, but it wouldn’t be the last, post office and bank robberies started to spiral out of control after 1937 with more killings of employees and customers. It appears to have been a violent raid with the “bandits” shooting one employee dead and wounding another two. $25,000 was a mighty good haul for the time.
