Three boys barely in their teens are suspected of robbing seven banks over six weeks.
Three boys barely into their teens are suspected of robbing seven banks over six weeks, handing the teller a note in each case and using the citys elevated train to make their getaway. 
There were three boys two aged 14 and the other aged 13. They robbed a  bank at their hometown in surrey a suburb south of the city.The three boys were arrested last weekend at a holdup at a bank in their hometown.
We obviously think they did the robbery because of the money but we are looking for more information.
One of our inspectors said "I still cannot for the life of me comprehend at the age of 13.... ever considering doing something like this".
Police did not disclose how much money was taken and did not identify the boys, though cpl. Roger Morrow said none of the three have previous run-ins with police.
A hearing was set for May 24 in youth court. 
The holdups appeared well-planned and executed over a large area.
In each case, tellers were handed a note, but there was no indication the young robbers were armed, investigators said.
All three were home with their parents tuesday after being charged the bank robbery- one with two counts and the others with a single count each.
