A teenager was arrested late last week when police responded to a reported robbery attempt at a credit union branch in Danville.
Danville Police Department officers received a report of a robbery in progress at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Friday (June 30) at 310 Hartz Ave., the town’s branch of Patelco Credit Union, according to a statement from police on July 5.
A 16-year-old juvenile suspect was subsequently arrested on suspicion of attempting to rob the credit union by passing a demand note, with no weapons being used. She was detained by officers and booked into Juvenile Hall in Martinez, according to police.
Are teens being used by adults to break the law? We know that kids are used by drug dealers as a layer of protection from the law. Is this similar to that?
If this was a self motivated robbery by a 16 year old then that is just as sad.
Soft on crime has not been working out.
Being an upscale and affluent community, it is difficult to picture a local teen attempting to rob a bank.
Committing crimes is not the exclusive territory of those from under-privileged backgrounds.
