Patty Mitchell’s 90-Second San Diego Heist and the 10-Year FBI Chase

A fake heart attack. A stopwatch. And a manhunt that spanned a decade. This Daring Capers episode follows Patrick “Patty” Mitchell and the Stopwatch Gang from a brazen medical ruse at Joyceville Penitentiary to meticulous 90-second bank jobs across San Diego. See how wigs, Halloween masks, and a strict time rule turned small teams into million-dollar thieves, and why a single delayed dumpster pickup cracked their anonymity wide open. Inside: the Bank of America haul pegged to a to-the-minute armored truck schedule, the quiet Oak Creek hideout, and the tip that sent agents across the world. But the most audacious twist arrives years later in a small Mississippi town, where a suspicious phone call triggers a race against the clock. Discover how the FBI finally closed in, why Mitchell never fired a shot, and what 90 minutes of crime ultimately cost him. Watch now for the full story behind the Stopwatch Gang’s rise, pursuit, and fall. #StopwatchGang #PattyMitchell #TrueCrime #BankRobbery #FBI #SanDiego #DaringCapers
