Dragnet: The Big Complex

The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Dragnet, your detective sergeant. You're assigned a juvenile detail. In the past six weeks, a junior high school has been broken into three times. And extensive damage has been done by Vandals.

Your job? Investigate. It was Monday, March 9th. It was cold in Los Angeles. We were working the daywatch out of juvenile detail. My partner's Frank Smith, the boss's Captain Powers. My name's Friday. We're on our way out from the office.

out from the office it was 8 32 a.m. when we got to the Hillside Junior High School the Vice-principles office. I mean I help you. Yes ma'am police officers we'd like to see Miss Ridley.

Oh yes you've been here before haven't you? That's right. Miss Ridley is expecting you even go right in. Thank you very much. Good morning officers. Come on please, please sit down. Thank you. You seem to be getting more than our share of trouble.

Yes ma'am what is it this time? Same as before little more serious. Capitaria? Yes wait until you see the place just downright vandalism. Food thrown all over on the wall from the floor, but they didn't stop there.

What do you mean? The student supply store was broken into. In fact, that's where the entrance was made. Yeah? Girl in charge says that a number of items are missing. What was taken? Thank the students, youth, and school, notebook, pencil, fountain pens.

I see. There were a lot of transportation books taken too. Those are the kind of kids used on the buses and street cards. That's right. Well, they have serial numbers don't they? Yes, we keep a record of them in the office.
