Boy, 14, in armed robbery arrest

16.07.2008

A 14-YEAR-OLD boy has been arrested after a gun was fired in an attempted service station robbery at Kadina in Adelaide last night.

A youth disguising himself in a balaclava and with a towel over his head walked into the BP Service Station on Frances Street at Kadina about 9pm armed with a gun.

He threatened a staff member, who managed to barricade themselves in a staff office at the back of the shop.

The boy allegedly fired one shot from the gun before leaving and the staff member activated a hold-up alarm.

Local police quickly located a boy who allegedly assaulted police as he resisted arrest.

He has been charged with attempted aggravated robbery, endangering life, possessing a firearm without a licence, assaulting police and resisting arrest.

He was refused bail and will appear in the Adelaide Youth Court today.
