[Music] time to Law Enforcement Officers the stake out is a lonely boring and often unrewarding part of their work a break may come at any time or it may take days of surveillance or perhaps it may never come Dan Matthews knows that this morning may bring no break in the case but he also knows that if the Bandit should strike again at one of the as yet unvc imized markets his men are ready and
