Boy steals (real) dumper truck

An eight-year-old boy stole an unattended dumper truck and caused chaos in a Lancashire town. The boy decided to go for a joyride after finding the truck with the keys left in parked outside a house undergoing building work. He was spotted by locals and he was later caught by police in Chorley.

As he is too young to be prosecuted he got away with a telling off from his parents, reports The Sun. Local Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans said: “Eight-year-olds should be playing with Corgi cars, not stealing real cars.”
