A ten-year-old boy who hit the headlines after he took his parents’ car for a joyride, and claimed to be a dwarf when caught, has taken off again, this time in the vehicle of another relative.

Last week the Norwegian boy gathered his 18-month-old sister and took her on a journey to visit their grandparents’ home 37 miles away.

The unnamed boy didn’t make it, however, driving into a snow-laden ditch six miles down the road from his home in the village of Dokka, 68 miles north of Oslo.

It has now been revealed the youngster has been up to his tricks again, with police confirming he was caught making it a little bit further using the car of a visiting relative.




He made it 19 miles before stopping, where a bystander took his keys off him.

In the first incident he had told a snowplough driver who stopped to help that he was a dwarf who had left his driver’s licence at home.

According to the Reuters news agency, this time the police haven’t been so forgiving, having now reported the parents to child services.

‘Nobody was injured, but that was more due to luck than anything else,’ Baard Christiansen, a spokesman for the Vest Oppland police, said.

‘The adults around the boy must take responsibility now before a tragedy occurs. It is scary and very sad that he is allowed to keep going on like this.’
