Step Up To The Plate

Taviner and Young end up pursuing a speeding car after responding to a burglary call, and discover that the car has been stolen by the masked driver. Taviner matches the MO to a number of similar cases in the area, and decides to challenge a group of young joyriders who seem to be giving him the runaround. When the leader of the gang turns up at the station and gives false information to Smithy, Taviner arrives at the suspect's reported location to find himself in the middle of an ambush. He pushes Smithy to set up an obbo, but when he refuses, he goes over his head to Gold to get the obbo authorised. During the obbo, Taviner is distracted, and watches on as the Area Car speeds out of sight.
