'Felony Lane Gang' Thieves Now In Bucks Co., Police Warn

Police in Bucks County are warning residents of a notorious gang of thieves that are known to steal purses and wallets from cars parked at ball fields, day cares, and movie theaters.

The Felony Lane Gang, known to operate in 32 states, has struck in Bucks County, local law enforcement officials say. Now, police are warning women to take their purses with them instead of leaving them behind in the car.

The most recent incident happened at a baseball field in Morrisville, where three people were targeted, sources say. Lisa Ganey of Yardley had her purse stolen, and more than $9,000 taken out of her savings account as a result, she told Action News during a segment Wednesday evening.

Ganey told Action News the thieves broke her car window, taking her purse and camera bag. The thieves were able to make three withdrawals, emptying her savings account.

Morrisville Borough Police Chief George McClay said the Felony Lane Gang is known to take purses from cars parked at day cares, ball fields, and other places they know women will leave them unattended.

McClay advises residents to keep their purses with them. "Don't leave it behind," he said during the segment.
