‘Felony Lane Gang’ Member Arrested For Bank Fraud
August 7, 2012
A member of the “Felony Lane Gang” has been arrested for alleged bank fraud.
Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies were alerted by Wells Fargo bank of attempted fraudulent check cashing. They located and arrested 28-year old Irving Brown of Fort Lauderdale.
It was determined that Brown, and others not yet named by authorities, were breaking into cars, stealing identifications, credit cards and checks, and then cashing them or wiring money.
The suspects, deputies said, had committed the crimes throughout Florida. They were dubbed the “Felony Lane Gang” due to their use of the outermost drive thru lane at banks.
Brown was charged with defrauding a financial institution and fraud-swindle. His bond was set at $50,000. Authorities said he will also face charges in other jurisdictions.
