TWO people have been arrested after a 14-year-old boy was caught driving a stolen car.

Officers sighted the vehicle in Preston this afternoon, with the underage driver making the decision to try and escape the police.

However he was soon brought to an abrupt halt when he turned down a dead end.

A police spokesman said: “Stolen vehicle sighted in Preston made off from police but then turned into a dead end which resulted in the occupants being detained including the 14-year-old driver. Two arrested and vehicle returned to owner”
