Madrid, Spain — Police in Spain said Friday they had arrested a teenager who held up a gas station, making off with around 2,000 euros but paying for a soda before fleeing.

The teenager is suspected of having burst into a gas station in Estepona on Spain’s southern coast on Tuesday, wearing a hoodie and a mask, with a fake gun.

“After threatening the staff, he took the money from the cash register, about 2,000 euros ($2,200), and curiously, before leaving he paid for a soft drink which he took from a display,” police said in a statement.
