A 10-YEAR-OLD and an 11-year-old were stopped while driving alone four hours from their Florida home in an attempt to run away to California, US police said.
Deputies from Alachua County Sheriff’s office spotted a white sedan that had been reported stolen driving on a road South in the City of Alachua, according to a Facebook post.
With the car reported stolen, police conducted what they initially thought was a ‘high risk’ traffic stop, but were surprised when a 10-year-old boy, the driver, exited the car followed by his 11-year-old sister.
Officers learned the children had been reported missing in North Port, and the stolen vehicle belonged to their mother.
