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.

Earn With situations like this you have to blame the parents for not teaching their kids from right and wrong, I can't imagine playing GTA had anything to do with this.


PREACH, literally though, people want to give every excuse in the book to blame video games like c'mon
