Four kids aged 13,14 and 15, steal a car in Poulton after midnight, then drive through red lights chased by police. Where did their parents think they were? How did they learn to drive?

Young teenagers are getting involved in more and more crime, what’s the answer?IMG_2625.jpeg
 
Is "taking a vehicle without the owners consent" warm words for "stealing".

Anyone who saw the video footage would be shocked as they raced through the red light at high speed.
Could easily have resulted in tragedy.

This has just made me remember one of my mate’s neighbours who regularly took his dad’s car out for a spin when he was around 12 years of age and home alone. In order to avoid detection he used to wear his dad’s trilby and I don’t recall him ever getting caught. I saw him once and he could barely see over the steering wheel which, with the trilby, made him look like a little old man. Ah, that’s made me chuckle, amazing what pops up from the old memory bank from 40 years ago 🤣
 
We were always up to no good around Bispham village and the prom in the late 90s early 00s, proper wind up merchants and a right nuisance.

There’s hardly any youths hanging around when I go back these days.
 
Overclocked e-bikes wheelieing down the prom; no helmet instead a balaclava.

It terrifies me because you'd only have to nudge them slightly or be a touch delayed on the brakes and you'd have killed a kid. Not something you want on your conscience.
 
I get that kids have always got up to all kinds, myself included back in the day 🥹 But stealing and driving cars at 1 in the morning at aged 13 is way above what me and my lot got up to. I had a 9pm curfew at that age 🤔
It does make you wonder where the parents think they are. And not to add how dangerous for all involved, and potentially for those not directly involved at all 🚙💥
