Vehicle owners booked after two minors caught driving

The Adoor traffic police have booked the mother of a 16-year-old boy and the registered owner of a motorcycle after catching two minors driving a car and riding a motorcycle near Parakkode in Ezhamkulam.

The police had received information that a teenager frequently drove through busy stretches of Adoor town and Kodumon and posted videos of himself at the wheel on social media. Acting on the tip-off, they stepped up inspections in Adoor and nearby areas over the past two days. Around 1 p.m. on Tuesday, they spotted the car near Parakkode-Ezhamkulam and intercepted it. Another teenager from Nedumon was driving the car without a licence, while the 16-year-old arrived shortly afterwards on a motorcycle.
