FBI in Vegas touting Internet bank robber gallery

[April 06, 2011]  LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The FBI in Las Vegas is touting an Internet gallery that posts images of Nevada bank robbery suspects in hopes of drawing tips and solving cases.

FBI Las Vegas Special Agent in Charge Kevin Favreau says the site is similar to ones in cities including Los Angeles and Baltimore.

It's got the faces of suspects and dates, but doesn't provide details about the banks or robberies. It also features a solved cases gallery.

Right now, the site lists six unsolved and five solved cases from 2011, and 31 unsolved and 26 solved cases from 2010.

The site also has links to Las Vegas and Henderson police, and a link to let people email tips.
