SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) - A 14-year-old girl allegedly addicted to crack cocaine was charged with robbing two banks and believed to be the youngest person accused of bank robbery in San Bernardino County.

The teen, who was not identified because of her age, was detained in December for allegedly assaulting her mother. She was placed in the county's Juvenile Hall where she awaits a court hearing for two counts of armed robbery.

"Nobody knows of anyone younger in their years of enforcing the law," said Sheriff's Department spokesman Chip Patterson. "This is unusual."
