CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A 14-year-old Wyoming boy is in custody after police responded to a call that someone was robbing a store at knifepoint and then fled on a push scooter.
Cheyenne Police Department spokesman Officer Kevin Malatesta says officers were called to a robbery in progress around 11:20 a.m. Thursday.
KGAB-AM <a target=”—blank” href=”http://kgab.com/armed-robber-in-gorilla-mask-hits-cheyenne-store/”>reports</a> that the suspect was described as a person wearing a gorilla mask who displayed a knife.
Malatesta says officers arrested the suspect as he attempted to flee on the scooter.
Because the suspect is a juvenile, police aren’t releasing his name. No one was hurt.
