A BRADFORD boy aged only 13 has been convicted of a city centre robbery.

The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons due to his age, was charged with robbing another male of £1.60 in Bradford Interchange. 

It happened on May 9 last year and court documents describe the offence as a “grave crime”. 

The boy pleaded guilty to the offence on February 28.

He was referred to the Bradford Youth Offender Panel for a total of four months and must attend meetings in that period. 

Compensation of £100 must also be paid, but no order was made to recover the money “due to limited means”. 

His parent or guardian must pay the money by the end of this month, court documents state.
