Incredibly brazen

15-year-old drunk driver caught with stolen car

On Sunday night, a 15-year-old drunk driver was caught by the Vienna police. The boy, who was registered as missing in Germany, was also drunk. The car he was driving illegally had been stolen in Lower Austria.

The car was stopped by police officers from the Laurenzerberg police station on Monday night because the driver was driving without lights and was attracting attention with abrupt steering maneuvers and jerky braking. 

Drunk in the stolen car 
During the subsequent check, the officers discovered that the driver was only 15 years old and therefore did not have a driver's license. But not only was he driving illegally, the vehicle was also registered as stolen. The Romanian-born driver had stolen it from the parents of a friend. As if that wasn't enough, the 15-year-old was also drunk. And last but not least, the boy is listed as missing in Germany and a search is being carried out for him. It would be hard to manage many more violations of the law in a single stop.

Runaway handed over to relatives
The teenager was reported at large and, after consultation with his legal guardians in Germany, placed in the care of a relative living in Vienna.
