A 12-year-old boy have arrested by police in Australia
News24xx.com -Outback police have arrested a 12-year-old boy who was almost a third of his way toward driving solo across Australia.
The unlicensed boy had driven more than 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) from his home in Kendall on the east coast when he was stopped by traffic police on Saturday on the Barrier Highway near the remote mining town of Broken Hill.
He was pulled over because a bumper bar was dragging on the road, New South Wales police said in a statement Sunday.
Officials said he was driving to the west coast city of Perth, more than 4,100 kilometers (2,500 miles) from Kendall.
The boy may have avoided suspicion from others during his journey because he appears older than his age. Police Detective Inspector Kim Fehon said the boy is about 6 feet (183 centimeters) tall.
On Saturday, he stopped to get fuel at a gas station in the town of Cobar and left without paying, station manager Vamshi Reddy said.
"When I saw him, he looked like a nice person who was maybe 19 or 20," Reddy said on Monday. "When police told me he was 12 ... I was shocked."
Officials have released no details about why the boy wanted to drive to Perth or whether he would be charged with any crime.
