Joyriding eight year old steals dumper truck

A eight year old boy has caused chaos in a Lancashire town after stealing a dumper truck and joyriding it around town.

The boy decided to go for the joyride after finding the truck with keys in the ignition outside a house undergoing building work.

He was spotted by locals in Chorley and later caught by police.

As he is too young to be prosecuted he got away with a telling off from his parents, The Sun reports.

Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans said: “Eight-year-olds should be playing with Corgi cars, not stealing real cars.”
