FBI Philadelphia Special Agent in Charge Wayne A. Jacobs announced that Dante Shackleford, 26, has been arrested and charged by indictment in connection with three armored truck robberies or attempted robberies that occurred in July and August and another attempted armored truck robbery in October. Mujahid Davis, 24, was also arrested and charged in the October attempted armored truck robbery.
“The swift arrests in this case are a testament to the strength of the partnerships that define the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force,” said Jacobs. “I commend the women and men of this task force for their determination and diligence in the pursuit of public safety. Their work exemplifies our unwavering commitment to protecting our community from violent crime.”
This investigation is being conducted jointly by the FBI Philadelphia Violent Crimes Task Force and the Philadelphia Police Department. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is prosecuting the matter. The FBI also thanks the Pennsylvania State Police, the Lower Merion Township Police Department, and the Cheltenham Police Department for their valuable assistance and collaboration.
The investigations into the series of armored vehicle robberies in and around Philadelphia during June, July, and August 2025 were part of the FBI’s Operation Summer Heat initiative. The FBI and its law enforcement partners made over 8,000 arrests across the country as part of this initiative targeting violent crime during the summer months.
The charges and allegations contained in the indictment are merely accusations. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
