Photos, Details Of 'Felony Lane Gang' Activity In Radnor Released

RADNOR, PA – Radnor Police issued further details on the Felony Lane Gang-style activity reported in the Radnor area recently, providing photos of the suspect, as well as locations of the thefts and withdrawal attempts.

Police said they were called to the Overbrook Golf Club in Villanova at about 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 6 for a report of vehicles being broken into.

Police found several vehicles had driver side and passenger side windows broken and purses, handbags, and other items sitting on the car seats taken.

The break-ins and thefts occurred between noon and 1:20 p.m. that day, police said.

Police said at least two money withdrawal attempts were made using the stolen driver's licenses, personal checks, and credit and debit cards.

One was successful while the other was not, police said.

Police obtained footage from banks in Hatboro and Huntingdon Valley at 5:47 p.m. and 6:56 p.m., respectively, on June 8 where the withdrawal attempts were made.

Radnor Police Det. Jim Santoliquito told Patch the Felony Lane Gang targets vehicles parked in locations where victims might leave their personal items in their vehicles, such as golf clubs or fitness centers.

Often, Santoliquito said men will watch areas for unattended vehicles with items left in them, then break into the vehicle and steal the items.

When the men get a hold of the licenses and bank information, women then try to use the stolen credentials to withdraw money from the banks, Santoliquito said.

These women will sometimes don wigs, sunglasses, and other accessories to disguise themselves, according to police.

Withdrawal attempts are often made in the outer-most lanes of bank drive throughs, often called "felony lane," which led to dubbing these criminals the "Felony Lane Gang."

Santoliquito said more often than not the suspects are from Florida or operate mainly out of Florida.

In early June, police on the Main Line and in Delaware and Bucks counties said similar activity had been reported in the suburban Philadelphia area.

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.

Anyone with information or who can identify the woman seen above is asked to contact Santoliquito (610) 688-5606, extension 112 or at jsanto@radnor.org.
