The Felony Lane Gang is an organized crime gang that has been based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in the United States.[1][2]

Name

The "Felony Lane" part of the name comes from the gang's frequent use of the lane that is farthest from surveillance cameras in drive-through banks.[1][2]

Crimes and tactics

The gang has been known to recruit drug addicts[3] and others in "hopeless"[4] situations to commit smash and grab[5] theft from parked cars with the intent of stealing identification and then using that identification to quickly cash fraudulent checks,[6][7] often while disguised as the identity theft victim.[8] They target mothers[9] at locations like daycares, fitness centers and outdoor recreation areas.[10] The gang is known to operate nationwide in the United States. Thieves are often paid with drugs from their bosses, and have been known to remove or obscure the license plates on their cars[11] in order to evade detection by surveillance cameras and eyewitnesses.

Leadership

Travis J. Russ was sentenced to 188 months in prison in 2014 for leading the gang.[1][2]
