Police Say 12-Year-Old Stole Several Cars, Sold One for $30
(OCSO, June 28, 2025)
Pontiac, MI – A 12-year-old boy is in custody after his arrest Friday for a series of car thefts from a Pontiac business. The boy is being held in Oakland County Children’s Village.
“This young man is on a very bad path, attempting to live his own Grand Theft Auto,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. “Hopefully intervention by the courts will send him on a better life path as well as stopping the constant theft from this business.”
The suspect entered numerous vehicles in the parking lot and when he was stopped and apprehended, he was carrying a license plate. Through their investigation, detectives learned the boy had taken three or four vehicles over the past month, selling at least one of them for $30.
The case remains under investigation.
