A carload of trouble

Police arrested seven children and one adult when they attempted to flee from a stolen car after spotting a booze bus Sunday night.
Geelong Senior Sergeant Nick Uebegang said the driver of Mitsubishi sedan pulled over, about 6.40pm, and eight occupants fled on foot.
“They saw the booze bus in the distance which caused them to pull over and run from the vehicle.”
Police apprehended seven of the teenagers a short distance away.
Two, aged 16 and 13, were remanded in custody to appear in Childrens Court, while five were bailed, Sen Sgt Uebergang said.
Police later arrested a 19-year-old man in relation to the offence a short time later, he said.
One of the teenagers faced court yesterday charged with offences including the theft of the car from a Corio home, about 4am on Sunday.
