‘So Bizarre’: Police Arrest 12-Year-Old Detroit Boy over Alleged Midnight Bank Robbery

Police were shocked when they responded to a bank robbery around 3:00 a.m. Friday night to find the suspect in the security cameras was in fact a young, 12-year-old boy.

Reports indicate the child rode his bike to the bank in the middle of the night, and Southfield police spokesman Lt. Nick Loussia told The Associated Press he broke a window to get inside.

In doing so, he set off the bank’s emergency alarm system.

WDIV-TV played footage of the child being led out in handcuffs.

They said he had “property from the bank on his person,” but didn’t get in to details. WDIV-TV video from the department, however, shows what appears to be cash and rolls of coins.

“The boy also kept asking police about the snacks — Funyuns and chocolate milk — he had taken to the bank with him,” WDIV-TV adds.

The boy was turned over to his mother and according to reports, may undergo some psychological testing.
