The suspect appears to be wearing a wig in the photos captured in the bank's security cameras, which is typical in these types of crimes as the suspect often attempt to disguise themselves or match the look of their victims.

Radnor Police began looking into recent Felony Lane Gang activity after being 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 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.

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, 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 ahold of the licenses and bank information, women then try to use the stolen credentials to withdraw money from the banks.

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."
