Boy used handgun to rob bank

A 13-year-old boy used a handgun to rob a Peoria, Illinois bank before police caught him hiding in a nearby garage after a foot chase.

Police said the teen used the gun to rob South Side Bank on Monday.

He fled the bank with the weapon and a bag of money wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and a red bandanna on his face.

Police apprehended him 36 minutes after the robbery was reported - the money bag contained a red dye package that had exploded and the teen's sweatshirt was covered with red dye.

Authorities found the gun and money near where they arrested the boy.
