The Auto Burglary Ring: Myra the Redhead
Aired: Sep 1st, 1949. Sergeant Joe Friday and his partner Romero work the night shift on auto theft detail, chasing down the leaders of a gang responsible for more than 250 car burglaries across Los Angeles. When two teenage suspects are caught red-handed at a Sunset Boulevard theater, Friday must break through their silence and evasions to find the bigger players behind the racket. Told with Dragnet's trademark clipped realism, it's a tense look at how a routine pickup unravels into a citywide investigation.
