Raleigh police are searching for two suspects accused of multiple bank robberies on Tuesday (February 22). The suspects have also been connected to a car fire near Centennial Campus at North Carolina State University Tuesday afternoon, WRAL reports.

NC State sent a message to students to alert them that two suspected bank robbers were on the run after crashing a Ford Mustang into an apartment building on Centennial Parkway. Police are leading a manhunt to find the men who are suspected of robbing four banks around the Triangle on Tuesday, two in Raleigh, one in Cary and one in Morrisville.
