Child Star From Flight Of The Navigator Arrested After Bank Robbery

Joey Cramer, the child actor who starred in 1986 fantasy movie ‘Flight Of The Navigator’, has been arrested and charged with holding up a bank in Canada.

According to The Coast Reporter, Cramer was arrested on May 1 following the robbery, which happened on April 28 at the Scotiabank in Sechelt, British Columbia.

Cramer, who is now 42, is said to have robbed the bank disguised in a shoulder-length wig and a bandana covering his face.

“Despite the fact that a disguise was used during the robbery, the suspect was quickly identified by some of our officers, who had recently dealt with him on an unrelated matter,” said Constable Harrison Mohr of the Sunshine Coast Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

“We hope that the community feels safer now that the suspect has been apprehended.

“Here on the Sunshine Coast, robberies are extremely rare. We’re fortunate that the officers were able to get the suspect into custody quickly.”

Cramer was charged with wearing a disguise with the intent to commit an indictable offence, along with failing to stop for a peace officer and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle during his alleged getaway attempt.

It’s not known whether a weapon was used in the robbery.

“We can’t comment on any weapon at this time, other than to confirm no one was injured and no physical violence occurred,” Mohr added.

Back in 2011, Cramer had another run-in with the law, when he was accused of trying to cash fake cheques.

Cramer, whose real name is Deleriyes Joe Cramer, was 12 when he starred in the Disney movie, about a boy abducted by an alien space ship.

It also starred Sarah Jessica Parker and Paul Reubens, but it did not mark the beginning of a last career.

After appearing in a handful of other movies, including 'The Clan of the Cave Bear’ with Daryl Hannah, he returned to live in Canada.
