Rob call false alarm Some downtown shoppers were surprised Saturday after noon when a number of Griffin police officers, with guns drawn, ran into the front, back and side entrances of Crouch’s Department Store on South Hill street. It turned out to be a false alarm. A young woman, apparently a teenager, phoned another Griffin merchant and in a frightened voice, told him that Crouch’s was being robbed. The merchant immediately called police. Within seconds several police cars descended upon the scene. With guns drawn, the officers surrounded the building and entered every door. As soon as they got in, they learned from the surprised clerks and customers that the call was a false alarm. Ed Crouch and Robert Otis Crouch, the store owners, commended the Griffin Police Department for its quick action in answering the call.
