Guide Note

A seven year old boy took his grandma's Dodge Durango keys and took a joyride in the Palm Beach Gardens Neighborhood. The joyride took a total of eight minutes until the boy crashed and the wheels fell off the SUV.

The seven year old boy crashed into many objects including several parked cars, smashed mailboxes and ran over a couple of sign posts. After the boy hit one of the signs one of the wheels fell off the car which ended his joyride.

It is unlikely that the boy will be charged, but if he would be, he would be charged with grand theft auto and various other charges since he smashed into many parked cars, sign posts and mailboxes. Police commented that it was very unusual for a boy of his age to do this kind of activity.
