Liquor Raid –
Destruction Device – at 32 Central Avenue East
a device had been constructed so that liquor packed around it would be
destroyed by fire when the current was on. The device consisted of a small wire
coil in a concrete enclosure. Around the coil were shavings and other flammable
material. Mixed in with this were the bottles of liquor. When the current was
turned on it would ignite the material and heat the bottles enough for them to be
destroyed thereby eliminating evidence. When agents barged into the room, they
unplugged the device. The bottles had not heated up enough to explod The evidence was intact.
