London:
A boy of a mere three years has turned Britain's youngest vandal
after police nabbed him damaging cars in a street close to his
home.
The toddler, who is an astonishing seven years below the age of
criminal responsibility, was noticed attacking a string of
vehicles. But because of his age, a child only becomes responsible
for their actions at the age of 10 - the police were powerless to
take any action, the Daily Mail reported.
Details of this kid's crime spree in Kiveton Park, near Rotherham
town, emerged after a Freedom of Information request was submitted
to South Yorkshire police.
They revealed that other youngsters aged four, five and six had
also been caught vandalising vehicles in separate incidents in the
last six months.
And a further three 10-year-old boys were involved in a robbery at
a snooker club in January.
In most cases, officers cannot even interview or detain suspects,
unless they obtain an emergency order for their safety. And in
cases children below ten are responsible, crimes are not recorded.
