Police arrest a 10-year-old car thief who was running on a busy highway

The incident began on May 27 and the Michigan State Police shared the news and photos on its Twitter account a few days later. After the boy stole the silver SUV, the vehicle was quickly tracked through OnStar, an in-car safety feature that provides coordinates for emergency services.

For example, it was discovered that a stolen SUV was driving on Highway 75. Meanwhile, some drivers had already called the police to report that a small child was driving.

A police car followed the car for more than a mile with sirens and lights flashing, but the young driver refused to stop. Dashcam footage from a police car shows the SUV swerving in three lanes. The vehicle can be brought to a safe stop remotely via OnStar.

After the car grazed the fence for a short time and the car stopped moving, the 10-year-old boy tried to flee on foot. He was quickly arrested and transferred to the Saginaw County Juvenile Detention Center.
