Police Try MySpace to Nab Bank Robber

An AP newswire article, via SFGate.com, reports that:

A brazen bank robber with nothing but a baseball cap and dark sunglasses hiding his face is one of the latest members of the social-networking Web site MySpace, and he wants to meet "more bank tellers so that I can continue my crime spree!!!"

Even though MySpace is popular with teenagers, Fort Smith police Sgt. Jarrard Copeland created the profile Friday hoping someone will recognize the man estimated to be about 60 and suspected in four bank robberies across Arkansas.

"We figure that might be one way to get this photo outside of the market," he said.

Amid a backdrop of $100 bills and a song "Citizens on Patrol" from the movie "Police Academy," the profile displays several photos from a Feb. 22 robbery at a U.S. Bank branch in Alma in which the suspect wore a blue jacket with "FBI" lettering on the left front and a blue ball cap.
