Cops: 3 Cars Stolen In 12 Days...By A 12-Year-Old!

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) ― A 12-year-old boy in Albany is accused of stealing three cars in a little less than two weeks.

Police say the boy, whose name is not being released because he is a juvenile, was caught Monday night after he abandoned a stolen car on a city street and ran into a park. He had been spotted filling the car with gasoline.

The boy had been caught Sunday night stealing a vehicle the owner left running outside a self-service laundry. He was also arrested June 24 after admitting he stole another vehicle five days earlier.

A police spokesman says the boy appeared in Albany County Family Court and was charged with three counts of grand larceny.

Police did not know if he was sent to a juvenile facility or released. It could not immediately be determined who his lawyer is.
