Dragnet: The Big Want Ad

You're about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned to auto-fat detail. A gang of criminals masquerading as legitimate auto- dealers start to work in your city.

Innocent people are cheated out of thousands of dollars. The thieves are clever. They work a foolproof formula. Your job? Stuck them. The documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police fires.

From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Tuesday February 19th that was Chile in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of all of stuff.

My partner's been Romero, the boss is Captain Milton, my name's Friday. We were on the way out from the office and it was 10.25 am when we got to the corner of 38th Street in Maxbury Avenue.

The Greenleaf Day Nursery School. Major's, uh, Palmer, is that right? I think so, just a minute. I've got to write it down. Yeah. Excuse me, man. Look at the whole point. The one. Police, man. Art, Le Mann.

Oh, yeah, car. Going to get all about. Yes, ma'am, we've been handling similar complaints for last month or so. I'd like to have you tell us everything that happened in your case, if you would, please.

One of the most underhanded things I've ever heard of, Sergeant. It would have been the same thing if he held me up with a gun, just out, Mount Robert. Well, could you give us some of the details, ma'am?
