Web Site Profiles North Carolina Bank Robbers

Federal investigators are profiling bank robbers by giving them an online identity.

The FBI and the North Carolina Bankers Association unveiled a Web site that includes photographs and information about bank robbers. It’s designed to generate information about the cases, and officials hope it will help reduce bank robberies in the state.

The bankers association said there were 124 bank robberies in North Carolina this year through the month of September. There were 222 bank robberies in 2008.
