Last week when the party was over, 126 people had been arrested, among them an assistant federal prosecutor accused of taking bribes to protect the fences. During the five months, undercover police had paid $67,000 for $2.4 million worth of stolen goods; the take included cars, stereos, TV sets, firearms, 140 typewriters, a bundle of Government checks worth $1.2 million, 1,500 credit cards, a truckload...
