Inhaltsangabe

A police officer's whistle, running feet, gunshots, breaking windows, burglar alarms, police sirens, more gunshots … So begins another episode of Gang Busters! From New York City to St. Louis, from Newark to Detroit, from Baltimore to Houston, and all the way west to California … there's a crime wave on. Cases of safe-cracking, gambling, kidnapping, car theft, and murder—police across the nation are tracking small time crooks and big time trouble. This landmark series of Philips H. Lord, arguably responsible for the entire idea of reality based police dramas, featured true stories that played like fiction. A novel idea for the time, and one that is still powerful today. After the story was told, and the crooks were apprehended, listeners heard bulletin style updates of other criminals at large and helped bring hundreds of them to justice.
