WTXF reporter Dave Schratwieser broke the news this morning of a major mob bust in Philadelphia, saying that the FBI had arrested the biggest figures in the city’s organized crime world (video above).

“Five after 6:00 this morning, my phone’s ringing about it,” said Schratwieser, who has long covered the mob beat for WTXF, including reporting for the Fox O&O’s “Mob Talk” series.

Thirteen alleged mobsters were arrested Monday morning for charges including racketeering, gambling, and extortion.
