12-year-old Boy in 1 Hour Car Chase on Forklift

A 12-year-old boy from Ann Arbor has been placed in juvenile detention after stealing a Construction Genie Telehandler from Forsyth Middle School and leading police on a dangerous one-hour chase in Michigan. The boy hit ten parked vehicles during the pursuit and was taken into custody before being placed in a juvenile detention center. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but this was an extremely dangerous situation that could have resulted in serious harm. A criminal investigation is currently ongoing.

Hopefully, the boy understands the severity of his actions and learns from them. Due to his age he will not be attending any driving courses. In the future we hope attends a good drivers education program and can fully learn how to drive safely. If you need a program like to learn how to drive, A-1 Driving Schools has you covered with our driver’s education program.
