Video Description

Dangerous Takedown: On February 12, 1997, two men use a sledgehammer to break into a Camden, NJ home. The homeowner shoots at the intruders, hitting one in the hand before they escape. Camden Police respond and track the suspects to a nearby park. One of the men shoots at the officer before police arrest his accomplice. The man gives up the identity of the shooter. Twice, police stake out homes where they believe the shooter is hiding, but he eludes them. Soon after, Camden Police get a tip that the man is planning to rob the Woodlyne branch of CoreStates Bank with other men. The FBI surveils the bank for weeks, but with no results. Then, at 10 am on July 19, 1997, three masked men enter the bank armed with assault rifles. After terrorizing tellers and customers, the robbers escape with $64,039. Over the course of the next year, the FBI would chase the elusive thieves, eventually catching them, but only after several more banks are burglarized.
