VIDEO: 11 and 12-year-old Arrested for Armed Robbery

Two young boys were arrested in North Las Vegas for holding up two clerks at gunpoint to steal some cash. Surveillance video from a donut shop shows an 11-year-old, with his shirt pulled over his head, point a BB gun at the clerk and demand money. The 12-year-old accomplice was waiting outside the store.

The clerk described the boy as only up to her chin, but she believed the BB gun was a loaded handgun. The boys then went to a Subway restaurant across the street, where they are accused of executing a similar plan.

According to North Las Vegas police, the 11-year-old boy was brazen enough to hold his BB gun to an employee's head at Subway. The 11-year-old boy's mother didn't apologize for her son's actions, but she did acknowledge that her son and his 12-year-old partner deserved punishment.

Police said this wasn't the first time the 11-year-old committed such a crime. Investigators alleged that police were able to track him down because of his prior felony charge.

Environmental campaigners axe gory film

Environmental campaigners 10:10 have withdrawn a film showing a teacher graphically exploding two of her students who refuse to reduce their carbon emmissions, after complaints. In a statement, the group apologised to anyone offended. The film aimed to "bring this critical issue back into the headlines whilst making people laugh," the group said.

Starring Gillian Anderson it was scripted by Richard Curtis, whose films include Four Weddings and a Funeral.It was directed by a leading commercials director. In the film, which was subsequently posted to Youtube and which contains disturbing images, a teacher invites her class to take part in the environmental campaign. Two children, who do not want to, are asked why.

The teacher tells them: "Fine, it's absolutely fine. It's your own choice." But moments later she presses a button and the children explode into a mess. Similar scenes are played out in an office where four workers are blown up and a football training session where footballer David Ginola, who also says he does not want to do his bit to combat climate change, disappears in an explosion.

In the final scene, Gillian Anderson, who provides the voice-over is similarly dispatched after saying she thought doing the voice over was enough of a contribution to the campaign. In the official campaign statement, the group said: "At 10:10 we're all about trying new and creative ways of getting people to take action on climate change. Unfortunately in this instance we missed the mark. Oh well, we live and learn." However, 10:10 said they would not make any attempt "to censor or remove other versions currently in circulation on the internet."

VIDEO: A BEAR GOES TO MARKET

RCMP responded to a break and enter Monday at the Petro Canada in Radium Hot Springs, B.C. Police were shocked when a surveillance video revealed the suspect to be much furrier than expected. The surveillance video shows a black bear charging into the store at around 4 a.m. on Monday and walking up and down the aisles.

Petro Canada employee Lori Ellingboe said that she arrived with police at the scene to find significant damage to the storefront. "The front door had been smashed and there was glass all over the place. We thought it was a robbery," she said.

Ellingboe said they were confused that the robber hadn't caused more damage to the store. "Nothing was missing and nothing had been vandalized. But then we saw that it had gone to the bathroom - left us a little gift," she said. "That was our first sign it was a bear."

Ellingboe said the bear also left a trail of blood as it spent six minutes wandering the store. "Oddly the bear didn't eat anything. We have a Subway restaurant in here and fresh pizzas - it's like the best place to break into for a bear," she said.
