NBC 6 out of Miami is reporting that two teenagers aged 12 and 14 attempted to rob a police station in Port Saint Lucie, Florida on March 12th. Apparently, the two walked up to a window, faked having a gun, and asked for cash. Not surprisingly, the heist was thwarted by several armed police officers in a matter of seconds and the duo is now being held on armed robbery charges.

We can only hope the event was caught on tape, and appears on YouTube or “America’s Dumbest Criminals”, soon. I’m sure the parents are beaming with joy.

It doesn’t appear to be a serious attempt as the teenagers cried out, “We will be famous now” as they were carted off to juvenile hall.  I doubt the judge presiding over the case will take this attempt at 15 minutes of fame lightly.
