The car contained a stash of fake plates and tools typically used by thieves, North Yorkshire Police say.
Police say the car contained fake plates and tools typically used by thieves Despite its plush, spacious interior, high-tech amenities and smart vertical skylight, the Bailey Phoenix caravan is probably fairly low down the list of things typical children covet. But one nonconformist wanted one so badly, he was ready to risk life and liberty to get his hands on it – allegedly.
Ms Forth wrote on Facebook: ‘If it wasn’t been for quick thinking and the amazing response from the police, God knows what would have happened!’ The car was fitted with fake number plates, and inside police found ‘equipment typically used by suspects to carry out thefts and a selection of vehicle registration plates’. The boy was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including theft, burglary, going equipped for theft, and motoring offences including dangerous driving.
