The web site www.georgiabankrobbery.com is designed to help law enforcement identify and arrest bank robbery suspects around the state, according to a press release by the FBI's Atlanta Field Office.

The public can click on photographs of suspects they recognize to get more information or contact law enforcement. There also are toll-free numbers for Atlanta Crime Stoppers, which allows tipsters to remain anonymous and provides a cash reward for information leading to an arrest.

The Web site also boasts of recent captures and provides links to similar Web sites in Colorado, Los Angeles, New Hampshire, New York, Texas and Washington, D.C.

The Georgia Association of Bank Security sponsored the Web site as part of an ongoing effort to share information with the FBI, as well as local and state law enforcement.
