SYDNEY - Outback police have arrested a 12-year-old boy who was almost a third of his way toward driving solo across Australia. Officials said he was driving to the west coast city of Perth, more than 4,100km from Kendall. The boy may have avoided suspicion from others during his journey because he appears older than his age. On Saturday, he stopped to get fuel at a gas station in the town of Cobar and left without paying, station manager Vamshi Reddy said. Officials have released no details about why the boy wanted to drive to Perth or whether he would be charged with any crime.
