Wilhelmsdorf (dpa / lsw) - A 14-year-old youth is said to have attacked a gas station in Wilhelmsdorf (Ravensburg district) and fired a shot.

He has been in custody since Friday because of the alleged gun robbery and because the police are already aware of him for other offenses.

According to the police and prosecutors, a robber entered the gas station on Wednesday and threatened the cashier with a pistol that later turned out to be a blank gun.

"In support of his request, he fired his pistol," said a spokeswoman.

The perpetrator fled on foot with cash that was still unclear.

Investigations brought the police on the trail of the 14-year-old, who they arrested on Thursday.
