Beware Of Felony Lane Gang, Police In Bucks Co. Say

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Police in Bucks County are again warning residents of a criminal enterprise known as the Felony Lane Gang that targets gyms, daycares and sports fields to commit thefts.

"Criminal enterprises, commonly referred to as the Felony Lane Gang, take advantage of these types of establishments because people frequently leave their wallet or purse inside their vehicle. These criminals don’t hesitate to smash the window glass to obtain entry to your vehicle either," according to Hilltown Township Police. The department put out a warning this week, saying area communities have experienced an increase in this type of criminal activity.

"They typically are active during the day, specifically in the morning, late afternoon, and early evening," said the Hilltown Township Police warning.

Police are advising residents secure valuables in the truck or another location if they plan on leaving them in the car.

"If you take your valuables into the gym be sure to lock them inside a locker. We also suggest keeping your car keys on your person at all times vs. hanging them on a key board," the warning said.

Felony Lane Gang members are also known to steal license plates so as to avoid identification.

Over the summer, police in Morrisville said Felony Lane Gang thieves targeted a baseball field there, stealing purses and causing a loss of $9,000 for one woman.

If your vehicle is broken into or your license plate is stolen, please notify your local police department. Additional information can be found on the Felony Lane Gang Task Force Page.
