WilCo Fugitive Arrested In Florida

Updated: Thursday, November 6 2014, 02:31 PM CST

Another member of the 'Felony Lane Gang,' allegedly responsible for a string of vehicle burglaries in parking lots in Central Texas, has been arrested in Florida.

Round Rock police say Colleen Adele Akers, 22, was arrested Tuesday at a home in Brevard County, Florida. Investigators say she stole more than $28,000 from Central Texas victims.

Police say members of the Felony Lane Gang broke into vehicles at locations where women commonly leave purses and bags in their cars -- such as gyms, daycare facilities and parks. After stealing checkbooks, credit cards, and identification belonging to the victims, the suspects would collaborate with Akers, who would pose as the victims and cash multiple checks for large sums of money.

Akers charged with numerous identity theft and fraud related charges. She will be extradited to Williamson County, police say.
