ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Newfoundland police nabbed an alleged car thief on the weekend — one too young to drive.

They say a 14-year-old boy is facing charges after being caught behind the wheel of a new red Chevrolet Cruze allegedly stolen from a St. John’s, N.L., dealership.

“Nothing surprises me anymore,” Const. Geoff Higdon of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said Monday.

Officers say they spotted the boy driving a car downtown at about 6 a.m. Sunday and recognized him as a suspect in other alleged vehicle thefts.
