Boys Pulls Robbery, Likens it to Real Life GTA

By pete_gallagher

Armed with a BB gun, a 14-year old California boy stole a pair of bicycles and after being apprehended reportedly told deputies that he felt like he was playing a real-world version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Bakers Field Now reports that the minor was arrested by Wasco police officers after a brief chase, which he compared to an episode of Cops. He told officers that he considered 'shooting the deputy in the eye,' but was scared that he would be shot in return if he missed. According to a newscast, officers also attempted to taser the boy, with 'little effect.'

No word on how the boy was able to manage fleeing with two stolen bicycles.

Thanks Jack!
