A 12-year-old boy carried out an armed robbery at a petrol station in the NSW Hunter region before he was locked inside and fell through the ceiling, police say.
About 9.10pm last night, a 30-year-old man was working at a petrol station on Main Road at Fennell Bay when the boy entered the store.
The boy allegedly produced a knife and demanded money but the shopkeeper ran from the store and locked the boy inside before contacting police.
The boy tried to open the cash register before allegedly taking a number of packets of cigarettes.
When he discovered he had been locked inside, he tried to kick the door out and then climbed into the ceiling cavity, only to fall through the ceiling.
He then allegedly grabbed a display stand and used it as a battering ram to smash the glass door and flee the scene.
He was apprehended by two males as he ran along the road and was arrested by police.
He was charged with several offences and was refused bail to appear before Parramatta Children's Court today.

I'm sure he'll get better as he gets older.

WTF? And the connection is?

Young criminal offenders ...it's not always funny is it?
Re: Practice, practice, practice..
Ermmm no.
My article was, yours was not.
So your point in posting an unfunny reply would be...what exactly?...
Were you under the impression that anyone here thought that all young offenders were funny, and that you best disabuse them of the notion?
Or what?
Really

It's kinda funny: young criminals testing the waters, but the idea that youth think such overall behavior is excusable because it's humorous or executed poorly; merely results in their arrest or worse.

Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
Re: Practice, practice, practice..
Nope, that makes no sense.

Yea, you're right, I'm misdirecting.
Been hearing much too much, about the deteriorating situation in Mexico. I had just heard about these 'forced recruits', these 'child soldiers' being used now; and that it makes me sick. Not your fault, but one more story about kids committing violent crime, and it made me feel sad.
