Add this to your blogrolls! The FBI has developed a new website featuring surveillance photos of bank robbers. Dubbed "Bandit Tracker," the website features a database of images, crime narratives, and maps that authorities hope will generate valuable tips from visitors, according to the Post. Similar websites are up and running in Chicago, St. Louis and Texas, among other places, and in some cases, the technology used to establish the sites allows investigators to post images of the suspects within an hour after a robbery occurs.
So far, "Bandit Tracker" doesn't offer too much information about local bank robbery suspects, though authorities are asking for tips about a man suspected of sticking up a Chase bank in Queens on Feb. 5, as well as several other robberies. The suspect—who is described as a black male between 6' and 6'3'' and 180 lbs.—was last seen wearing a dark trench coat, dress clothes, and brown glasses. In his heists, he approaches customer service employees or bank managers, displays a handgun or an object that looks like a handgun, and demands cash.
