Ain't you kinda young for robbing bank? guess not.

Remember the boy is "accused" not formally charged.

A 13 year old boy was taken into custody Monday after allegedly robbing a Peoria bank (IL), with handgun

The robbery occurred about 11:34 a.m. at the bank's 2119 SW Adams St. location, and by 12:10 the suspect was in custody. The Peoria teen was apprehended in a garage behind a house at 927 S. Louisa St. in South Peoria.

According to Burgess, police eventually located the suspect hiding in the garage near the alley off Louisa. The suspect, who police haven't identified because he is a juvenile, was hiding behind a couch in the garage at 927 Louisa. His sweatshirt was covered with reddish-colored dye.

Recession has now reach young teens, using handgun at a bank is just asking for trouble. I wonder if the branch had a guard on duty? Because the boy is a minor we'll probably never see the video footage.
