Apparently he was wanted for several other offences as well. Frightening that such a young boy is already breaking the law so flagrantly.

And he apparently had other false number plates with him.
Cheeky little......

It seems he was driven to the site and then he took the car and caravan.
Perhaps it was his 9 year old sister who dropped him off😂.

It’s hideous isn’t it Well he couldn’t have done this alone could he? but to drive a car towing a caravan at 11 years old on a blooming motorway by himself is incredible , takes some doing !

Police in North Yorkshire pulled up a BMW X5 towing a caravan on the M1.

The car and caravan were stolen and on false plates, equipment used to steal the vehicles was found in the car along with false number plates.

The driver who was travelling alone is 11 years old.

Disgraceful but on the other hand commendable.
