Police 'Staggered' to Find Boy, 11, Driving BMW Towing Caravan on M1
In the News
It is bad enough police stopping a vehicle to find an 11 year old at the wheel , but even more astounding when the vehicle was pulling a caravan !!
Not only that but he had stolen the BMW and caravan from a holiday site and when police searched the car they found equipment typically used by suspects to carry out thefts and a selection of vehicle registration plates."
It is not an easy feat for some adults to drive a car pulling a caravan, never mind a child , but also having the 'skills' for want of a better word to steal both vehicles is beyond belief
What next, car thieves in nappies sucking a dummy ?

With the rise of thefts these days you even need to nail your grass down!
I wonder whether he did this off his own bat or whether h was co-coerced into it by older family members or 'friends' who would know that he would get off relatively lightly if caught!
One has to wonder at the upbringing this child has had, sounds like a modern day Artful Dodger. I wonder who the Fagin is that he answers to.
I'd say I'm shocked but I'm not. Working with kids is an eye opener. Sadly I expect stuff like this. Sadly it's how some are brought up parents don't parent and give so many excuses and blame everyone but themselves
Jerseydrew Nothing shocks me any more J, more just surprised the way things are now in the world
Obviously it’s very bad and dangerous but i’m just shocked he was able to hitch the caravan etc.
I read this the other day these kids are getting smarter I'm 38 and don't know how to drive 
Probably a traveller’s kid. I’m not saying all travellers are thieves but I’ve definitely witnessed some thieving when they visit around here, which is fairly often. Not witnessed car theft though. On my nextdoor app always hearing of motorhomes/caravans being stolen or attempted and it’s always when they are about here.
same !
Well this really astonishes me! I really don't think I have the words 
. What on earth is going on in the world
Police won't stop him from doing it again and banning someone with out a licence doesn't make sense
