Inside the FBI’s hunt for a Philly armored truck-heist crew

Old-school detective work. High-tech surveillance. An anonymous tip. Even a totally separate car-theft probe. All of it helped investigators piece together the case — including a surprising text about a Fox 29 Instagram post that came from a West Philly man now playing in the NFL. Inquirer investigative reporter David Gambacorta joins Ariane Datil at the Wooder Cooler to break down what we know about the robbery ring, people in their orbit, and the connections between their web of crimes.
