LEXINGTON, MA - The Felony Lane Gang has made quite a name for itself in Massachusetts and across the country.
The Lexington Police department shared information from Waltham police asking residents to beware the thieving band of freelancers after a recent rash of 'smash-and-grab' vehicle break-ins.
Police released a bulletin warning Waltham residents of recent break-ins in Waltham and in surrounding areas. They are asking residents not to leave valuables in their vehicles, even ones out of sight. Police say the gang focuses on vehicles parked near parks, fitness centers, and day cares, but has hit other spots as well.
