A 12-year-old boy stole a patrol car belonging to the City of Flint Police Department in Michigan on Tuesday, authorities said.

The boy, who has not yet been identified, allegedly stole the car after authorities arrived at his home, responding to a domestic disturbance call relating to the boy and his father, local news station ABC 12 reported.

When authorities arrived, the boy had locked himself in his father’s car. But as they were speaking with his father, the 12-year-old apparently jumped out of the car and into the driver's seat of a police cruiser.
