The robbery happened at Leafield Stores in the town's Woodland Road at about 1400 GMT on Thursday.

Police said staff at the store were threatened with a handgun during the raid, in which cigarettes and money were stolen.

The three youths have been bailed to appear at Stranraer Sheriff Court on Monday, police added.

At least we don't live in a world where children are given guns and fight in armed conflicts. Oh wait...

Cant believe this hapening in a western country like here. I would expect this kind of thing to happen in the slums of Rio not here.

I'm pretty sure my friend told me about his friend who was involved in an armed robbery when he was about 14 (maybe 15). I believe he was on Crime Watch too. It is pretty shocking though.

My thoughts exatcly! I think regardless of age, people commiting crimes need holding until trial.

Should be a good deterrent.

Sure, because we have no home grown criminals. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure, but I don't think Scotland is crawling with immigrants in quite the way you think.

Lock them up, deffo dont bail the little scroats.

And personally i'd have them beaten to within an inch of their lives and locked in soletary for a good time to think about reforming their ways - if that doesnt work then a more permenant solution should be found to make them reform or rid them from society.
