Police Arrest 12-Year-Old Boy For Allegedly Stealing Cars, Basically Selling Them For Pocket Change
Police in Michigan arrested a 12-year-old boy Friday after he allegedly stole multiple cars from a local business.
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office announced Saturday the juvenile suspect allegedly robbed the business of three or four vehicles within the past month and “sold at least one of them for $30.”
“This young man is on a very bad path, attempting to live his own grand theft auto,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. “Hopefully intervention by the courts will send him on a better life path as well as stopping the constant theft from this business.”
Police reported the boy stole from a local business in Pontiac, the Oakland County seat of government. Oakland County is the second-most populous county in Michigan. . .
“Our deputies are to be commended for their excellent work in stopping a young man, only 12 years old, who was on a path of grand theft auto,” the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post. “This type of behavior typically does not end well. Thankfully, the business will not have to continue to suffer from this criminal behavior.” (Read more from “Police Arrest 12-Year-Old Boy For Allegedly Stealing Cars, Basically Selling Them For Pocket Change” HERE)
