 Music Music Music Music It's the story of your police force in action. On September 7th, they're still in Los Angeles. They were working a day-watch at a lobby detail. My partner's been in jail. The boss is Captain Gideon. My name's Freddy. It was 1.48 a.m. when I got to the basement of the city hall. The car keys. It's definitely Boulevard Avenue. Can I get the radio? Yeah, all right. No report yet? No, he got away on foot. He headed down the street after the hold-up, locked himself in the crowd. Better watch the camera. Oh, yeah. How do the things work? Do you get to go? Roger that. There's not much to tell. You walk in the store at the right time, point it again, grab the paper, and walk out $5,000. The city must have had the gear, so put it right there. And it might be bad practice, but it could be. If you're a one-thing, you're well-armed. I'm taking all your money. All your money. That's a very big cost. A very big cost. You get it back, huh? What? I'm gonna drop it. All your needs are further than that for a traffic accident and I never thought한테an Septium Noanes, you're out for investigation, Sabed Investigation 287. Roger that, who claimed Theinki Intersectional That's a little bit of an intersection over the track. Turned over. That's how it goes? Yeah. Let's go. Man, the switch got on straight over there. Hold it for a minute, please. Excuse me, please. Let us through, please. Thank you. Well, let's don't just stand around and look. Somebody call the police. Excuse me. You're involved in this? Sure, I was in it. Anybody call the police? No, police. I'll do whatever. I'm too glad to see you. You're awful out of trouble. How about this man here? What happened? Oh, I plugged him. I had to. What do you mean? Well, I don't know what happened. He went a little crazy. I was like, he pulled his gun on him. I was like, he's got a bump over here. He just had to be right out of the way. What do you mean? I mean, look, there's that truck over there. That's what I was driving. I was coming down safety and I stopped at the red light over there. That's gone over there? Yeah. And when the lights turned green, I started across the intersection. And this guy that was laying here came bowing down big so when right through the red light hit the front of my truck, flipped his car right over on the side, just like this. Come on, go ahead. That guy went a little crazy, I guess. Right after the crack-up, I pulled the truck to the curb and got out. This fella here was just climbing out of the top side of this car. I didn't see him late at all. Well, when he saw me coming over to him, he pulled the gun in front of me. Then he started running out. I couldn't figure it out. What'd you do? The thing is he turned his back to where I went for him and tackled him. It felt like a target. That's why I said I'd plug him up. I had to after. There's something awful funny about the whole thing. Well, look here. There's spots right here. It fell out of his coat when I plugged him. He took a look. You know? Yeah. That's been two, four dozen in there. Really, it's all time. It's like dying a good embankment. Get up the ride and look at the unconscious, pure robbery suspect to give you to the shooting master. After his revised and treated suspects and grocers, he took him back to the city hall of the interrogation room. Instead of the description of the jewelry store, he abandoned almost a bathroom and refused to talk. He wouldn't even give us his names. He had a fingerprint taken when he had been checked for R&I. The man was identified as Burned Albert McCoy, an ex-convict out of Folsom and a two-time loser. He took one five-year term for armed robbery for another three years for ADW. He checked out the red card and dried it and found out that it had been stolen two blocks from the scene of the holdup. He had a manager of the jewelry store which had been robbed, brought downtown. He identified McCoy as the bandit. The suspect's jewelry came with the car. Ben and I took him to the main jail where it was looked on sufficient to 11 D.C. 4.15 p.m. He took back into the office. They come up in a long time. You know, two-time losers I can't say that he's been out of Folsom's seven months and going right back in again. Well, we could get the complication to be at a morgue except you're only prepared to go out. Maybe that's what the manager of the jewelry store for. I wonder if McCoy could have been in the most gas-taking holdup. Remember, that's me. Oh, we'll have me to show up there and see what happens. You won't take care of your rest support. I'll get out I'm still hungry. You still got that candy bar tonight? Yeah, here you go. Uh-huh. What's the matter with you later anyway? I don't know. Been eating like a horse. Down, down. I'll talk. I'll get it. What do you got, Joe? I'll get it. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. McCoy. state. It happened at about 4.14 p.m. By 11 o'clock that night there wasn't a trace of a suspect. 7.30 the next morning Donna may take back in for work. Nicole was still at large. Overnight report, Joe, I'm alert. And we got him. Like a story? Yeah, station? Mm-hmm. Nothing like a story. Hopefully he hadn't held up between midnight and 2 a.m. Take a look at the bank this Christmas. Mm-hmm. Yeah. 3.00 a.m. 5.00 p.m. Like 50 pounds. 8.00 a.m. Darkening the area right time. Sir, complexing deep scar on him. How about it? We didn't waste time getting started again, did we? He put a big come down at this McCoy. Diamonds that's the latest story. And we had to do something. He didn't have any clothes or money. How about that car he's on those jobs? Still, I'm recovered early this morning. They're going over to plan. So now, Joe? Really? Yeah, I'm just going to ride away. We're going to get that cold a minute ago. Okay. I'm using an image of Matthew Raub during the candy store in one of the great streets over in Boyle Heights. You might be in the candy center. Yeah, about what? McCoy. It's on last night. The guy in the car drove over to Boyle Heights just before he located Matthew Raub's place of business. With a small store on Delray Avenue, one block from the neighborhood drama school. The sign out was front-read. It means you need a candy parlor and variety service. It was a usual display in the window. A wind-up train, a few inexpensive dolls, pencils, writing fabrics, and some crepe paper. On the inside, the main attraction was two long show cases filled with a variety of candy candies. It was a small photo spot in the corner of the store, topped with a slab of worn marble. Matthew Raub was a small, thin man. He looked to be in the mid-50s. He sat behind one of the counters, selling cellophane bags with Christmas candy while he talked to us. We're asking about Nicola. Yes, that's right. Then in the middle of last night, about 10 o'clock, 10, 15. Now, later, you want me to help you? You didn't know Nicola that well, Mr. Raub? Well, I know most of the kids who grew up around here. Yes, I guess I knew him well. But what did he ask for, the way I helped? It's my name. Close. He definitely was family-less. I guess I was the only one who got thunder. But how is it that he didn't notify us still, Mr. Raub? I knew you'd ask. I'd like to print. I sure as best to print. You don't need that type of bag there, so I'll just turn around. Well, no, no. No, the number two. Yeah, those. Yeah, mm-hmm. All right, here you are. Thank you. As I said, you knocked on my back door about 10 o'clock. Now, let him in. I said, just like an animal. Some kind of crazy animal. Let him in, please. Did he have all the cuts on? Yeah, but the thing connected. He was broken. And they didn't even file off. He came back, you know. Now, what to do at first? I had no idea what was going on. He said, you'd tell me if I didn't help him. He got struck in me. I mean, let me tell him I cut before. Mm-hmm. Go on, then. You know what, Sergeant? I knew that boy when he didn't grab my school right up the street there. Once you put down things sometimes, huh? Where they'd grow up and change. Yes, sir. Well, what happened after he took the cuts off? Well, then he got out of his gear clothes and put on one of my things. Took what? I had my wallet, $12. And then he kept running around when he found my gun. He took that with him, too. Didn't you think you're calling for help? Not the way me. I had to, Sergeant. Just like a crazy animal. I could have killed him if I had to try anything. Warned me not to tell anybody who's here. But he'd come back to tell me if I did. Well, I waited this morning and I called the police. He said McCoy took a gun from Mr.... What kind of a gun? What a... 32 automatic. It was cold. I've had it for years. I had a brother who said he knew people. He took just money, please. Clothes, guns, money. If you want the truth, I did. I just thought he'd bring enough to try to stop him. But when McCoy left here, did you notice that he had a car? No, he left on foot. Walked across the street when he went down that way, uh, towards the town. I don't know, Ryan. I don't feel you'll get too far. I hope not. You have a little idea of where you might have had a contact. Some of his old friends, his relatives. No, no. He doesn't have any folks. I know how... Terrible thing, isn't it? Kids growing up. Yeah. He's a way to change, like McCoy. I don't understand them when their kids... Seen hundreds of them from here. Know what they're thinking. How they feel. Kind of a hobby. I understand kids, you know. They've got a way to grow up. All of a sudden, they stopped being kids. I don't understand them after that. After we left the candy store, we went back to the office. We got out a supplementary APB, continuing with the system of the suspect's clothing and the gun that he's stolen. Together with Gonzalez and Tanya from Robbery, Ben and I took all of McCoy's known friends in the usual hangout. Takeouts were placed. We got nowhere. The ladies we hold up continued. Thank you that Vickens identified McCoy as the bandit. He was the same M.O. in each kid. They worked only on the weekends, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. We steal a car. Four three hold up from the same general area within an hour. Abandon the car and the same area and then disappear. Two weeks passed and then a month. The weekend Robbery's went on. For the most reason, hold up Vickens we found out that McCoy had picked up a partner. We checked the man's existence in his back office. Each of his stolen cars used by the suspect and then abandoned were checked for prints. They failed to identify the second man. But all of us continued. McCoy and his partner were still at line. Monday, January 26th, 8.30 a.m. Got a man up with Captain Biddyham. What's the counts, Vickens? The news won't free hold up Friday, three Saturday, three Sunday. He's proved his point. He's consistent. Well, when do you blow the whistle on him? We're doing everything we can to be done. Stay down. Yes, sir. You're in charge of duty. Got it off. The corner pocket wants him to resolve. They want him to sign it. Well, how about the times Vickens arrested for the three-stick-up last night? They've been double checked. Well, correct. There's something else for you. Here it is. What is it, Vickens? The only key. The drug store out in West Hollywood, robbed at 11.14 a.m. All right, now this one. Coffee shop out in the valley. Robbed at 11.21 p.m. Both of them seem to have moved from there already. Well, it doesn't trade you. They couldn't have made it to the spot in West Hollywood after the valley in seven minutes. It's not possible. There's a report. Check it. I know, but how could they do it? It must be familiar to work out in West Hollywood. It's got to be. I can give you a short check now. McCoy, find him. Another key. Two weeks past, and then two weeks more. Besides the extra men in units putting service on weekends, he doesn't separate space out for his family in areas where he's picking McCoy and his accomplices' sites. So we help him up. The hold-ups continue. There's only one difference. The description of the bandit didn't drive anymore. We still didn't have an answer to the superhuman speed that the two gunmen seen in the show and robbing victims at widely separated points all within a short period of time. Just late on it. Friday, February 21st. Saturday night, took our team on night's fake out in a vacant store in San Francisco, Illinois. We were trying to cover a drug store in a bar directly across the street. We spent two weekends on the job. It was quiet. Nothing happened. A third weekend was no different. One thing's for sure. You're never having a much-taking fake out. No, it was. This empty store must be the drastically-flaping town. No, it was always had worse. What time was that? Five, six midnight. A little band over in the bar. Sure, they're in their money, don't they? No, it was a while ago, wasn't it? It's real bad. You should have a look. I mean, they were already tired. They were on the street there, see? Oh, yeah, they're heading for the bar. Anything. They're stuck back here. Got the same bill. It's like they're in the hurry. They're going in the bar. Well, come on. Come on, we better hurry. I see it. Come on. All right, hold on again. Look out. All right, hold on. Hold on, you guys. Now, come on. Hold on behind your head. All right, hold it right there. Come on, I'll get you. You all right, guys? Yeah. You had a good time. All right, both of them. I'll wrap you down, then. Well, you better look again. Huh? You're the one of them, Nicole. You are listening to Dreadnit, a series of authentic case histories documented from official files. Many of our corporate customers are worried about employees going wild purchasing office supplies. Case-as-line.com allows them to set up workflow approval and give them more control over a purchase group. So they're doing that time and I'll be um, abandoning office supplies and office management together. I'm Emery King of SpacelsLink.com. I serve in the business to business e-commerce. SpacelsLink is a great idea. I've balanced up early. Spacels revolutionized the office supply industry for free to keep it strong. 20 seconds. Renan and Christopher Robby suspect downtown of the city hall of the interrogation room. We checked into R&R and found that they both had records for burglary and grand theft auto. The car that they've been using that night has been stolen. After two and a half hours of interrogation, one of the suspects took the alpiners. He decided to break down and cooperate morning in the interrogation room. I got something out of it going on. Helping you. You never forget I helped you when you get me a call. You know if you've been over by the street and been making me out of court, now what's your story? I knew I never said a word for it, but it may not all happen again. Nicole, are you talking to me? No, I'm not talking to the rest of you. Helping them out on the pick up. I'm just partying. It's quite simple. You don't care? Yeah, I try. You can't have me with a school-proof pistol, man. I was suffering up to go for it. How long did you work with him? He was a couple of weeks in, three, four, maybe. I didn't get along with him. No, nobody gets along with him. He's a little crazy. You know, I think he was a little crazy. Oh, I know. He's had two, three different guys down, and who's with him? No. Say it inside the car and drink the water. If you don't mind, I'll go with you. Thank you. I'll go with you. All right. Here we go, man. How about the way Nicole works? Three, four lobbies in that all over town. A lot of guys work in that. So, will they all take it the same way? Yeah, sure. When I left him, I went on my own and picked up a apartment and used this system. Pretty good one, there. Well, it looks like it's going to be a new one. Will it really? They'll pick up a hot car, drop a thing. Yeah, you got it. It must be half a dozen guys in this town working with just them. So, my own guy's from Macquarie. He's out with you. Where do we find our people, though? Macquarie, no. That's for sure. He's out with you, you know. He on my damn time, he only comes up for a weekend with Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then he takes off with you. Takes off with? When down by a boy, there's some place, some place, you know, where I'm not sure. You know, don't forget I'm helping you, huh? You'll let him know I cooperate. Yeah, we'll let him know, too. Yeah, where's the last time you saw Macquarie? Oh, it's been a month, anyway. I don't want to see him again. So, this may help you, though. I know where the girlfriend's going. Well, the problem with my girlfriend's part, I can get there, but I should probably go to the chair once in a while. Mm-hmm. Anybody else, do you think, though? No, that's about it. I won't be able to push her over, guys. And like I said, I think he's a little crazy. He's not going to be an easy one to take, but we'll give it a try. Oh, I don't need it that way. He's wild, but should get him, I guess. Just one thing, sir. We'll have to tell him first. 345 AM, Pete Albinez, and his accomplices were booked at the main gate on 6th June, 2-11-2-2. The next morning, Ben and I checked out the address of Macquarie's girlfriend, which Albinez had given us. The girlfriend's name was Esther Leviz. She told us that she had you seen Macquarie in more than two weeks. We asked her if she knew where the suspect stayed when he was in town to give us an address on South Depot. We called in and arranged for a stakeout on the girl's place, and we drove over to Kissley Address to keep her in it. There was a small apartment court and we lived in the investment district. Macquarie wasn't there, neither was the manager. We talked to one of the tenants. She told us that the manager, Mrs. Clarifron King, was out of town. We said that last year was gone, her daughter, Norma, was looking after the place. The daughter was employed as secretary at the Blue Cross Hospital plan office over on Rooster Boulevine. We called the office and arranged for another stakeout at the apartment court, 1-25 PM, and located at the main of his daughter at the Blue Cross office on Rooster before the Macquarie mugged out. Oh, thank you, sir. One of mom's tenants used to run a lot. She's in Bundler's side. Anyone staying ready, Miss Sandy? Well, I'm glad you stayed ready, mom. And you have visitors, sir. Is something wrong? But when did you see this man last? His mom. When I was leaving for work, he was out time working in his car. And he bit straightened too. Yeah, go ahead. Blue Cross, listen. I see. You know, just to address the letter to Blue Cross Hospital plan, you can send it back to Rooster office. That's right. And you're welcome. I'm sorry. I want to talk to him soon. Well, you told us that you saw this man working in his car this morning. Oh, yes. He was there. Pops right outside his phone. I couldn't bear to miss it. I'm going to tell mom about it. I want to go home. What's that, ma'am? It was certainly a storm. It was not that time of year. That's why I'm noticing. What's that? It was something in the license plate from his car. Did you get the number? It's all here in my purse. 1.32 p.m. For the information printed by the girl, Ben got on the phone and called in in the description of the suspect's car, together with the two sets of license numbers. For the 1941 Ford sedan, dark blue, white-sand world tires. Communication got out of broadcast in the supplementary ATV on it. At 6 p.m., Ben and I relieved the men on a stakeout at McCoy's apartment. They waited. No sign of them. They took to the office on the hour. No sign of the car. 8 p.m. Still nothing during 11 o'clock. Nothing. The driver continued from robbery, drove out nearly just, and he headed back to the office. 11.26 p.m. What do you think I'm going to know? It's like giving a hole I can think of. Say it's good for a break, man. Over here. I have to use these things. Where? Where's that? Far from here. Right. Yeah, right away. You ever? All right. Here's one of my runs. Yeah. 12 from B.C. in the southeast corner. Oh, yeah. Little late tired. I got to spot it. 11.56 p.m. Ben and I built the vicinity of 12 from B.C. in her. We checked with a man in unit at 8 p.m. We spotted the car. They've gotten out of code 5 on it. The description matched perfectly. On 1941 Ford sedan, dark blue, white-side wall tires. The license number was one of those given us by the apartment running through Dara that afternoon. Together with the two men in 8.6 p.m. he staked out on the suspect's car at a distance. The car don't look exactly in the middle of the block. About 20 feet behind it are red and white delivery suspect cars. The streets were fairly deserted. The only place of being was open was a small corner bar at the far end of the block. 12.30 p.m. 1 a.m. No one came near the dark blue sedan. They waited. 2 a.m. The corner bar closed up. The man came out, got in the red and white delivery truck and drove off. Since 30 a.m. The dark blue sedan was still sitting there. He kept waiting. One way or the other I wish he'd make up his mind. It's a long way. Closed in here and it wasn't that way too slow. But it's yet to be prepared. Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it. 802 to control 1. 802 to control 1. Control 1 to 802. Go ahead. 802 to control 1. Are we clear? Control 1 to 802. Stand by. Oh no, no. I'm out. Me too? No. Guess we do it now. Yeah. Control 1 to 802. Control 1 to 802. You're clear. Code 1 can make you 670. 802 to control 1. Roger. Can make you 670. Oh look, girl. It's in the corner. Yeah. Far into the block up. It's shining. Isn't that this way? Yeah. You make up two of them? Uh-huh. The two? They're passing by just to bring it. Oh. No, are they? They're getting in, aren't they? Uh-huh. Come on. How about this girl? They're getting out. All right, hold up there. Board up here. Now and go. Pull up the coin. Right at the top. Uh-huh. Throw out the gun. Both of you. Hey, don't shoot. Go out the gun. You'll kill it. Get out there. You'll kill it. Come on. Pull him out. Don't shoot. Here's my gun. Don't shoot. Come on, then. That's good. Let's go. Yeah, careful. There's the gun. Don't shoot. It's up my hand. Drop it. I'll shoot him up. Okay, I will. But don't shoot. I didn't use my gun. How you did? I tried to tell him you heard me. You heard me? You heard me cannot be shooted. Check my gun. I didn't shoot it. Just come on. Get him out in front of me. Now get to doing it. Here it is. Come on, Ruffin. Third time for me. All right, third. Okay, you ready? Let's go. Please, huh? Give me a break. You picked the wrong time to call me. Please, now this is a third time for me. I'm no good in that. Here you have your gun. You can take them away. I can't do it, huh? I'm no good in it, girl. No good at all. We'll go better out here. Let's go. Now, on May 24th, trial was held in Superior Court, Department 87, City and County of Los Angeles, State of California, in a moment to results of that trial.
