Thieves around the world
Two 13-year-olds and a 14-year-old have been arrested on suspicion of a string of bank robberies in Canada.
Police in Vancouver arrested the three teenagers following the robberies
"Within the last month and a half we're looking at seven robberies all over the Lower Mainland,"
A former security firm manager said he stole almost £5m from the company he worked for because he had never been given a rise.
The 40-year-old man, named only as Ingo S, was found guilty of theft by a court in Munich, Germany, after being caught with the cash stuffed into 40 money bags in the boot of his car.
Speaking in court the man, who headed a branch of the unnamed security firm in Fuerstenfeldbruck near Munich, said he felt mistreated by the company.
"I successfully built up that branch and instead of being given a pay rise, all I got was a pat on the back," he said.
He has now been sentenced to four years and three months in prison by the County Court in Munich.

Police in Romania say they have caught a thief who stole money from a priest's car while he was in a strip club.
The 43-year-old priest was allegedly spotted by the thief in a club called No Problem in Suceava town, reports Evenimentul Zilei newspaper.
Witnesses say he was being free with his money, hiring all of the dancers to perform for him and his friends.
Police say the thief found out which was the priest's car and broke into it, stealing £4,000 he found in a suitcase.
But officers managed to track him down and recover the money, after studying CCTV footage from the club's carpark.
Church authorities said they will start their own investigation into the priest's moral qualifications for his job

German police are hunting a gang of Robin Hoods who steal food from exclusive restaurants and delis to give to the poor.
The anarchist thieves, who wear superhero costumes during their raids, have struck repeatedly in recent months in Hamburg, reports the Scotsman.
After they plundered Kobe beef fillets, champagne and smoked salmon from a gourmet store on exclusive Elbastrasse, they presented the cashier with a bouquet of flowers.
And they left a note saying: "Without the abilities of the superheroes to help them, it would be impossible for ordinary people to survive in the city of the millionaires."
In another recent swoop, the gang emptied a groaning buffet table in a top restaurant into sacks, while one of their number held up a sign saying: "The fat years are over".
In internet statements, the gang say their booty is distributed to the poorest of Germany's long-term unemployed.
They are also behind black market cinema tickets which they distribute free to the poor, and they have printed leaflets telling passengers how to dodge ticket inspectors on the city's underground and buses.
But police spokesman Bodo Franz said: "They get off feeling they are just like Robin Hood. There are about 30 in the group. But whatever their motives, they are thieves, plain and simple."
