Two Florida children allegedly committed a minor traffic crime late last week – albeit one that resulted in a major, lights-and-sirens-inducing, 200-plus-mile headache for law enforcement and their very worried mother. But the pair won’t be prosecuted or otherwise charged for their decidedly epic late-night joyride, authorities say.

A 10-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl left North Port, in Sarasota County, on Sept. 21, sometime around midnight, in their mother’s white sedan, according to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.

At around 3:50 a.m., the white sedan was pulled over, on Interstate 75. According to the sheriff’s office, the vehicle had been reported stolen and deputies conducted what was termed “a high risk traffic stop.”

Deputies said they were surprised to find the 10-year-old driving – with his 11-year-old sister in the front passenger seat. The two siblings had traveled across some seven or so counties.
