Gang Busters was an American dramatic radio program aired from 15 January 1936 to 27 November 27 1957 on the NBC. The show, one of the earliest crime shows on radio, was created by actor-producer Phillips Lord. Each episode began with loud sound effects like gun fires and tire screeches, which led to the catch phrase “come on like Gang Busters.” And then, at the end of each episode were the description of each criminal captured and some information on those who were still on the loose. During its entire run, hundreds of criminals were brought to justice, courtesy of the Gang Busters.
