Last year there were over 300,000 cases of identity theft in North Carolina alone.

State Attorney General Roy Cooper says "This is costing businesses billions of dollars, but it's also costing everyday people their good name and their reputation and also a lot of out of pocket expenses."

On Saturday, Wilmington residents fought back against identity thieves. More than 200 people watched as their old bank statements, bills and personal documents were shredded outside SunTrust Bank on Oleander Drive.
