Masked Robber Terrorizes ATM Users
by Tyree Barnette

You might think you're safe going to the ATM, but Raleigh police are on the lookout for a masked man who's terrorizing the Triangle. A man seen wearing a skeleton mask in security camera shots has been robbing Raleigh ATM goers.

Police say the man waits until victims enter their code, then approaches them with a gun and forces them to withdraw money. So far the masked man has made four hits. Raleigh police are coordinating with surrounding police departments to warn them about the robber.
