A 14-year-old boy has been charged with eight offences, after a spate of burglaries, resulting in a police pursuit on a major road in Warwickshire.
The teenager was arrested after a reportedly stolen vehicle was stopped as it attempted to go southbound on the northbound carriageway of the A46, “into oncoming members of the public,” police said.
A black Ford Focus had been reported as stolen overnight on New Year’s Eve from the Leamington Spa area, with a shop and three homes then targeted, said Warwickshire Police.
The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, has been released on police bail and set to appear in court on Thursday 8 January.
