Teen claims to have explosive during robbery attempt

A 13-year-old boy is facing robbery and battery charges.

Wichita police say the teen walked into a business in the 1500 block of South Oliver, around 3:25 Wednesday afternoon. He reportedly gave an employee a note demanding money and saying he had an explosive. The employee called 911 and the teen ran off, pushing a door into a customer as he left.

Officers happened to already be in the area, and caught the teen after a short foot chase.

There were no injuries to anyone involved and nothing was taken from the business.

An investigation is ongoing.
