It’s good to see the Internet being used to crack crimes. We’ve seen it used too often to commit crimes.

FBI agents are going online to catch bank robbers.
In the past six months, four bank robberies have been solved with the assistance of www.bandittrackerarkansas.com, said Steven Burroughs, supervisory special agent for the FBI in Little Rock.
“Just with those few numbers, that’s a valuable thing,” he said about the site launched in 2008.
The site features security camera photos and details of robberies throughout the state. A barrage of five highpriority suspects graces the top of the page and is updated as heists occur.
