The young driver was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences and has been bailed while police investigate further.
The owner of a 'stolen' caravan has praised the 'quick thinking' of police who tracked down the vehicle being towed down the M1 motorway. Janine Forth said she arrived at the caravan park near Thirsk in North Yorkshire on Thursday afternoon 'just as they had hitched it up and were driving away with it'. Officers from North Yorkshire police were told the caravan had been stolen and that it was being pulled by a black BMW.
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!' When police searched the car, they found 'equipment typically used by suspects to carry out thefts' and a selection of vehicle registration plates. The boy was arrested on suspicion of offences including theft, burglary, going equipped for theft, and motoring offences including dangerous driving.
