This feels like a description of a deleted scene from Snatch.

What good is locking up a child going to do? I'd hope at least a stern talking to the parents though.

[–] grff@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

For stealing a car? They also definitely could have killed people. Maybe not lock up but there should be severe consequences

[–] PatMustard@feddit.uk 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah obviously there should be consequences, like finding out what kind of fucked up home situation allowed this to happen and making sure the child gets a better life out of it. Locking a child up will not help them!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

When police stopped a BMW towing a caravan in the north of England on Thursday afternoon, they were shocked at what they found in the driver's seat.

Officers from North Yorkshire police were told a caravan had been stolen from a holiday site near Thirsk and was being towed away by a black BMW.

They had tracked the luxury car, which was using cloned registration plates, travelling south on the A1.

When they searched the car, they found "equipment typically used by suspects to carry out thefts" and a selection of vehicle registration plates.

It recommended caravan owners take steps to deter thieves, such as installing CCTV, fitting alarms and tracking devices, and taking good quality photos of their vehicle to aid identification if it's stolen.
