Federal agents are arresting an international gang of bank robbers that use fire to break in. Investigators say the bank robbers used blowtorches, cellphone jammers, and disguises to rob banks across several states, including California, Oregon, and Washington. The FBI says the robbers are mostly from South America. They’ve stolen more than four-million dollars from 29 banks and credit unions. In some heists, they’ve posed as construction workers, rented vacation properties near their targets, and used black market cars to stay under the radar.
