13-year-old boy accused of robbing Illinois bank

Youth was arrested within 30 minutes of holdup

A 13-year-old boy who police say was caught red-handed a block away was accused Tuesday of robbing a bank.

The unidentified boy was charged with felony armed robbery in juvenile court, accused of threatening a teller with a gun and demanding cash.

He was found hiding in a nearby garage about 30 minutes after Monday's robbery, stained red from a dye pack that had been placed in the bag of money.

Prosecutors were considering whether to seek to have him tried as an adult and face up to 30 years in prison.
