GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A 12-year-old from Michigan has been arrested, accused of stealing and selling cars.
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest on Saturday. The boy allegedly stole at least three vehicles from a business in Pontiac over the course of the past month.
Investigators say that they witnessed the suspect enter “numerous vehicles†in the business’ parking lot and that he was carrying a license plate when he was arrested. Detectives say the boy sold at least one of the stolen vehicles for $30.
“This young man is on a very bad path, attempting to live his own grand theft auto,†Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a news release. “Hopefully, intervention by the courts will send him on a better life path as well as stopping the constant theft from this business.â€
The boy is being held at the Oakland County Children’s Village.
