The Brief An 8-year-old boy allegedly stole a running car at an Alpharetta apartment complex. Police are searching for what may be their youngest-ever car thief after witnesses said a boy who looked about 8 years old stole a vehicle from an Alpharetta apartment complex. Investigators said the child drove about half a mile on roads inside the complex before ditching the car and running into nearby woods. One man called 911 to report a child swerving through the complex behind the wheel of a car. The child drove down two roads, through a roundabout and past a playground, witnesses said.
