A 12-year-old Queens boy and his younger cousin have been picked up by police after they drove to New Jersey in a stolen Range Rover, police say.
The kids made off with the vehicle at about 9 a.m. Monday when the boy's mom was taking a shower, police say. He and his 7-year-old cousin then spent the next five hours driving, almost making it to the New Jersey/Delaware border before they were apprehended just before 2 p.m., authorities say.
Police were able to track the little car thieves through the vehicle's EZ Pass, which is automatically read when the vehicle passes through a toll booth, according to police. It's unclear whether police plan on filing charges in connection with the incident.
