Michigan State Police encountered an unusual situation on May 27 when they learned a 2017 Buick Encore had been stolen by a 10-year-old. The boy and the crossover left Buena Vista heading toward Detroit, where his mother lives.

His determination to reach his mom led to a genuinely alarming journey for someone so young. Thankfully, the episode was resolved without serious harm.
