ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. North Carolina police have arrested three New York City fugitives, including one accused in a series of subway robberies.
Multiple media outlets reported that Rocky Mount police working with the U.S. Marshals Service arrested the three men in Rocky Mount.
Thirty-seven-year-old Rasheem Williams was wanted in connection with a string of New York subway robberies. Authorities say Williams targeted mostly women, holding victims at knife point or pretending to have a gun and demanding money and bank card PIN numbers.
Police say Williams robbed or threatened people on trains in the Bronx and Manhattan during daylight hours between January and August.
The other suspects are Jamal Williams and Michael Lewis, who was wanted for probation violations.
