The 12-year-old bank burglary suspect who apparently broke into a Bank of America branch on Greenfield Road near 10 Mile in Southfield early Friday could face serious charges, police told The Detroit News Monday.
“A petition for prosecution was submitted to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office this morning on a possible charge of breaking and entering,” Southfield Police spokesman Lt. Nick Loussia told Oralander Brand-Williams.
If the youngster, who is from Oak Park, is charged, his case will be prosecuted through the Oakland County juvenile court system, and he will be required to attend a hearing on the charges with his parents.
The child was arrested Friday morning after police said he used his bicycle to break into the bank, located at 25177 Greenfield Road, around 3 a.m.
