Police have arrested a teenager for robbing the lemonade stand of an 11-year-old boy who was raising money to go camping with his grandparents. The victim, Austin Cundy, has now been flooded with requests from people who have asked if he would like to set up a lemonade stand at their business premises.

The child says that he has been moved by his community's response after receiving cards with money that offered to replace the $20 that was in his plastic container when it was taken Tuesday.

Austin, who also wanted to buy his mother a birthday present with that money, told police that he was physically abused by two teens on bicycles. One of them punched him, threw him off his chair and took the plastic container with $20 in change along with his wallet, which held his library card and student ID.

With help from witnesses, police are holding a 17-year-old boy on Wednesday in connection with the incident. The teen was being held on suspicion of robbery and physical abuse of a child, pending formal charges, AP reports.
