They had tracked the luxury car, which was using cloned registration plates, travelling south on the A1. About 45 minutes after the caravan was reported stolen, the vehicle was stopped on the M1, having left the A1 near Garforth. Officers said they were “staggered” to find an 11-year-old boy sitting in the driver’s seat of the BMW. When they 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.”
