CARY, N.C. — Cary police want to use the Internet to catch criminals, but town leaders must first approve thousands of dollars in funding for the project.

According to Cary police, $230,000 is needed to help fund a new cyber crimes unit.

Last year, Cary detectives investigated more than 480 computer-related cases, including 70 identity theft crimes.

If the department gets the green light, the money will fund extensive training, new equipment and two detectives assigned primarily to computer-related crimes.
