A 14-year-old boy has been charged with a series of driving offences, after he ploughed a car into a house during a police chase.

The incident occurred in Grampian Way, in Derby, close to the roundabout that leads on to Swallowdale Road, after a police officer spotted a car that had been taken earlier that night from a property in Stenson Road.

A police spokesperon said: “After a short pursuit of a matter of seconds the VW Sharan collided with a house. A 14-year-old boy was arrested at the scene and was taken to hospital as a precaution but was not found to be seriously injured. He has since been charged with aggravated vehicle taking, driving without a licence, and driving without insurance.”
