TOWN OF POUGHKEEPSIE – Three suspected members or associates of The Felony Lane Gang, a Florida-based roaming gang, were arrested on Wednesday, December 20 by Poughkeepsie Town Police after they allegedly tried to steal money from a Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union branch with stolen banking documents.
Police said Danielle Alfieri, 31, of Kenilworth, New Jersey, and Briante’ Wood, 26, and Jennifer Wright, 34, both of Fort Lauderdale, and were arrested around 3:30 p.m. on Route 9 after their car broke down and they ran.
The three are suspected to be involved in the gang of about 100 people who target areas around the country where women frequent, such as gyms and other establishments, looking for purses left in cars. They break into the car, grab the purse and use the stolen banking information and driver’s license to withdraw money from the victim’s bank while using wigs and other disguises.
In this case, the documents were stolen from a vehicle on Wilbur Boulevard in the City of Poughkeepsie on December 16.
The investigation is continuing with charges are pending from police agencies in Dutchess and Orange counties. It could not immediately be learned if these suspects were involved in an ATM skimming incident earlier this month at the Town of Wallkill branch of the same credit union.
In the Town of Poughkeepsie incident, Wood was charged with identity theft and grand larceny, as felonies. Wright was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, identity theft and grand larceny, all as felonies. Alfieri was charged with felony attempted grand larceny.
