INDIANAPOLIS - A kid, possibly as young as 10, threatened and robbed a west-side pharmacy Monday, Indianapolis Metro Police said.

Just after 11 a.m., a boy approached the pharmacy counter at the CVS Pharmacy located at 5502 W. 38th St. (See our map below.)

The pharmacist told investigators that the boy, estimated to be between 10 and 13 years old, handed a note to the employee that said this was a robbery, and included a list of drugs.

The note, according to police, also implied he would kill everyone if the alarm button was pushed.

After getting the drugs, he ran away. Ofc. Christopher Wilburn said the drugs taken were narcotics.

(snip)

Police said the robbery may have been related to a gang ritual.

Is it that easy to rob a pharmacy?

This is 2015. You would think they’d use surveilance cameras with a higher resolution than a cheap logitech webcam from the mid 90’s.

On 38th Street, evidently as easy as it is to get killed.

13 yo black kid gunned down on East 38th Street at 2 AM the same day. (MLK day)

hard to tell from pictures on the video, but it appears to me to be shadows and horrible camera resolution

They've come up with a new way to compute age so people can keep kids on public assistance longer.

I would bet hi-res images are available. More game-playing by the media?

If a girl can be a boy and a man can be a woman, why can’t someone with a beard be 10??

Do not resist. Cower and accede to demands. Meekly turn over the property.

These are the general rules, so the yoots don’t even need a weapon, just a note.

I see no mention of a firearm or explosive device, etc.

It is a sad damn commentary on our wimpy society when a little kid can walk into a store where there were likely several adult employees and customers, and get them to deliver to him specific items to steal, based only on words and an epidermis with a bit of extra melanin.
