Two 12-year-old boys were arrested Saturday night after one of them pulled a gun on two victims during an attempted armed robbery in the Garden District, according to New Orleans police.
In a preliminary report, the Police Department said the juveniles approached a 48-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man at Chestnut and Philip streets about 8:45 p.m.
They asked the two for a dollar, police said.
When the victims refused, one of the boys produced a gun and made the man get on his knees, police said. The man complied, and the two fled.
The NOPD said both boys were apprehended a short time later.
Yup, it sure is! “We don’t carry cash.” is our reply to beggars on the street. I told my husband, be prepared for the time they’ll say “I take all major credit cards.” There are those readers that attach to phones now.
