What were you doing when you were 12 years old? I probably spent my days going to school, playing games, and watching my favorite cartoons. I think most of our readers went through a similar childhood. However, the situation is very different for this child, who lives in the state of Georgia, USA.
12-year-old car thief boy stunned police
The 12-year-old boy, who was detained in the United States for car theft the other day, is charged with 89 different incidents. The boy, who was not named by the authorities due to his age, has committed 84 offenses of breaking into cars and five times of entering restricted areas, local news channel Fox5 reported.
Police teams, who took action after the car theft incidents were reported by many in the area last month, were able to detect the 12-year-old petty car thief thanks to the security cameras in the area. The police, who captured the footage of the 12-year-old boy entering the cars, then caught the boy.
According to authorities, the 12-year-old car thief broke into dozens of vehicles along the Northern Highway Corridor over a one-month period. Police officers added that as a result of the large number of break-ins, more cases could be brought against the child.
In the state of Georgia, persons up to the age of 17 are not considered adults. However, the minimum age for criminal prosecution across the state is 13. That’s why petty car thief can be prosecuted by the state for his crimes. However, a clear explanation has not yet been made about this.
This boy who stole a car at the age of 12 across the USA has been on the agenda. So what do you think of this child car thief? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
