11-Year Old Engages in Police Pursuit After Playing Grand Theft Auto V

4.5
Yesterday, an 11-year-old boy was caught driving on Ontario’s Highway 400 after a night of playing Grand Theft Auto V, the Ontario Provincial Police say. According to Sgt. Kerry Schmidt of the OPP’s Highway Safety Division, police received reports after 11p.m. Saturday of an erratic-moving vehicle just north of Toronto. “Drivers called it in thinking it was probably an impaired driver, because the vehicle was all over the highway,” Schmidt said in a video posted to the OPP’s Highway Safety Division Twitter page on Sunday.

The driver was heading northbound on Highway 400. Police say the driver exited at King Road, and then got back on the highway, this time going southbound. That’s when an OPP officer attempted to pull him over.

“The vehicle was first… going under the speed limit – like about half the speed limit,” Schmidt said. “As the officer tried to get out and talk to this driver, find out what was going on… the vehicle took off again.”

With the driver now speeding at over 120 km/h, a second officer arrived. The OPP were eventually able to box the car in and bring it to a rolling stop.

Police were shocked to find an 11-year-old boy behind the wheel.

“(He) had just been finishing playing Grand Theft Auto at home and wanted to find out what it was like driving a car,” Schmidt said.

According to Schmidt, the child’s parents were sleeping at the time of the stunt.

Motivational This is clearly not the parent's fault. They were sleeping at the time and had absolutely no control over the matter. The kid took the keys himself, started the car himself and drove it onto the road. He wouldn't have done that if he hadn't of played GTA V, thus the game is to blame. It's rated eighteen for a reason.


You can say that, but how did the kid get his hands on the game in the first place. I am sure he didn't go out and buy it himself, I am sure his parents knew he was playing the game. It may not have been the parent fault directly, but indirectly it was. Of course, the parents did want this to happen, I am sure they never thought of this happening. But it happened, ultimately because they got him the game/let him play the game.


You making all these absurd conclusions but you couldn't think he might've borrowed it from a friend and that's the reason why he plays it at night while his parents were asleep.?
And age has nothing to do with this, it just comes down to the person's mind because I played the game when I was 4years old and I came out perfectly fine.

Wulca 'Parenting' is the key word for this story. A 11 years old boy in a police chase while his parents where in bed. Shocking!


I can understand that they were asleep but they blamed the game... come on it clearly says 18+ you should not have bought that game for your 11 year old kid end of story and no joy ride.


Biiiiiiiiitch please. I played GTA since I was 4 years old and I came out perfectly fine. It just comes down to the child's mind. The age has nothing to do with it. An adult could also do that

If you say this is the games fault you are a complete idiot, it falls onto the parents for not watching the kid
