NSBPD mug shots / Raheem Marshall, 14, and Samuel Hayward, 15, both of New Smyrna Beach, are in the custody of the juvenile jail today on an overnight charge of armed robbery of a gas station with a firearm.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Two boys, ages 14 and 15, armed with a loaded 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, robbed the Right Stop gas station just before midnight Sunday night, but were caught after running from the premises by responding New Smyrna Beach cops, the head of the detectives said.

"That's pretty brazen what they did," Detective Sgt. Eugene Griffith told NSBNews.net. "It was a takeover robbery."

Griffith said the age of the alleged robbers, agers 14 and 15, is not that unusual from his 22 years of experience in law enforcement, but what is the loaded lethal weapon. The younger of the two was holding the gun.

Accused was a former pastor at St. Ann's R.C. Church in DeBary
