'Felony Lane Gang' Activity Suspected On Main Line, In Delco

The "Felony Lane Gang" is striking in the Philadelphia area, and police in Delaware County and on the Main Line believe recent crimes in the area are likely tied to the Florida-based criminal group.

Earlier this week, Radnor and Springfield township police reported crimes that strongly resemble Felony Lane Gang activity.

Springfield Police said on June 1, a woman tried using a stolen driver's license to withdraw money from a local bank.

She is suspected of attempting similar withdraws at other banks around Delaware County, according to police.

Then on June 6, Radnor Township Police reported several vehicle break-ins in parts of the township.

Vehicles at Skunk Hollow Park and Overbrook Golf Club in Villanova, as well as at Dittmar Park in Devon were targeted.

When asked if they believe the break-ins are believed to be part of the criminal group's activity, police said it's likely.

Police in Bucks County reported three people were targeted by the Felony Lane Gang at a baseball field in Morrisville. One of those victims had more than $9,000 taken out of her savings account as a result.

The Felony Lane Gang is a Florida-based gang that will steal various items typically used by women, such as purses and handbags. Then female members of the gang will pose as those victims at bank drive-throughs to steal funds from victims' accounts.

The gang uses the outside most lanes of bank drive-throughs so as not to be identified. That lane has since been called the "felony lane" by law enforcement agencies.

Back in April, Tredyffrin Township Police arrested three alleged members of the gang, all of Florida, after someone reported suspicious activity at a bank in Paoli.

Radnor Police it is working with nearby police departments to investigate the crimes and said residents should be vigilant about not leaving sensitive and personal belonging unattended.

Anyone who sees suspicious activity or people should call 911 immediately.
