In the US, a mother became her son’s partner in crime by acting as his getaway driver following a street robbery. After the son stole a pensioner’s wallet, the mother drove him away from the scene of the crime. The son did tell his mother what he had just done, as the not-so-daring duo drove away. The mother refused to let officers search their home, explaining that her son had thrown away the empty wallet, having spent the US$40 it had contained. The son was charged with robbery.

Also in the US, a small Michigan town opted to warn drivers of the perils of drink-driving by displaying a wrecked vehicle outside a local school. However this proved an insufficient deterrent for one man, who crashed his car into the wreck. It is not clear if the man was under the influence of alcohol at the time as he ran away from the scene of the incident, along with his passenger, with the two only being caught later on. He was lucky to escape serious injury and injuring anyone else, as he had crossed several lanes of traffic and hit a lighting pole prior to smashing into the already crashed vehicle.
