Turnpike Arrest - I
Listen with Realplayer

Mr. Schiff: A few years ago a Camden County, New Jersey, police officer was shot. The FBI put out a warrant for one of the gunman...

Ms. Vizi: "We determined that this individual, along with some friends and family, were involved with some very serious bank robberies in the South Jersey area."

Mr. Schiff: That's FBI Special Agent Linda Vizi at the Philadelphia office...

Ms. Vizi: "One of the bank robberies they intended to do was early in the morning just as the bank was opening. They arrived there a little bit too early; the bank wasn't opened yet. So they shot out the plate-glass door in order to get in"

Mr. Schiff: The FBI got a tip about the group's next job. Vizi says the individuals had high-powered weapons, so, to keep citizens safe, a rest stop along the New jersey Turnpike was picked by the state police to make the arrests...

Ms. Vizi: "As they turned the corner and attempted to take down an armored car, the FBI SWAT team was there to take them down."

Mr. Schiff: Some shots were fired; one gunman was hurt. They all were arrested and eventually ended up in prison. I'm Neal Schiff and that's the FBI's Closed Case of the Week."
