A 15-year-old boy has been sent behind bars for allegedly running through a red light, driving on the wrong side of the road without a licence and colliding with another car, leaving a magistrate shocked and questioning how he could drive.
The boy appeared before the ACT Children's Court on Thursday and was charged with driving a motor vehicle without consent, failing to stop for police, dangerous reckless driving and driving without a licence.
On Tuesday, police claim they identified a stolen white Jeep driving in Macquarie about 6.45pm.
