An almost two decade-old project to expand high-speed rail out of Raleigh got a half-billion-dollar boost from the federal government last month.
As part of an $8 billion infusion of high-speed rail funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, North Carolina will receive $520 million for a number of projects to improve the route running from Raleigh to Charlotte.
A form of bank fraud that can victimize hundreds within hours is growing in sophistication and increasingly targeting the Raleigh area.
The Raleigh Police Department arrested four suspects in 2009 as a result of multiple investigations into cases of “skimming,” where thieves use electronic devices to steal financial information. Although the arrests stem from only three cases in 2008 and 2009, the crimes can impact a large number of people.
