Believe it or not, a 13-year-old boy was caught red-handed while robbing a bank in Peoria. Yes, this is possible. Because, today's kids are very clever and they can do many things like the adults do! Thanks to televisions and Internet.
The robbery happened on Monday. According to police sources, the boy threatened a teller with a gun and demanded cash. Police found the kid hiding in a nearby garage about 30 minutes after the robbery. He got caught due to a dye pack that had been placed in the bag of money.
On Tuesday the unidentified boy was charged with felony armed robbery in juvenile court. Prosecutors were also considering whether to seek to have him tried as an adult and face up to 30 years in prison.
This was the first of it's kind case that Sheriff Michael McCoy came across in his career as a Sheriss. "It's the youngest person I can remember," McCoy said.
