Armed boy, 12, stole delivery worker's bike outside Burger King in 'initiation ceremony'

A 12-year-old boy stole a bike from a delivery worker at knifepoint outside a Burger King restaurant.

The worker said the boy showed a knife hidden in his waistband before making him hand over the bike they were riding during the incident earlier this year.

The boy later said the cyclist was targeted after older boys told him to steal the bike “as part of some kind of initiation ceremony”.
