A 16-year-old boy led the police on a car chase until his vehicle was blocked and he was arrested yesterday early evening.
Informed sources said the boy is the brother of a 12-year-old found driving a number of times last year.
The police initially tried to stop the 16-year-old in Hamrun but he drove on, sources said. They gave chase and eventually arrested him behind the wheel of a hired car in Valletta.
Officers of the Rapid Intervention Unit and the district police were involved.
