A 14-year-old boy stole a truck tanker owned by the water utility Apa-Canal Chisinau (AAC) after forcing the vehicle’s side door. The car was parked outside an ACC building on 16 Maria Dragan St. The teenager forced the side door of the truck and found the spare key, which he used to start the engine. The boy managed to drive about 500 meters before hitting a minibus parked on the sideway. After he hit the minibus, the teenager drove into a curve and crashed into a wall. Fortunately, nobody was injured. The boy was held by the driver of the minibus, who called the police. ACC director general Constantin Becciev said at the City Hall’s meeting on Tuesday that the incident happened in the afternoon, on Monday, August 27, during the lunch break. The director stressed that the most important thing was that nobody was hurt. Constantin Becciev added that the minor should not be subjected to criminal proceedings and demanded the law enforcement bodies to be more tolerant, unless this was recidivism. He recalled that at the same age he stole his elder brother’s car and damaged his neighbor’s fence. This regrettable incident from his youth didn’t influence the later events in his life. On the contrary, he became an engineer and a renowned specialist in the field.
