14‑year‑old's slow police chase in Kununurra, Western Australia

A 14‑year‑old boy stole a Toyota Land Cruiser and drove it through the town of Kununurra in northern Western Australia. Police officers followed the vehicle at a very low speed, circling trees and dust‑filled streets for about an hour. The footage, shared online, was labeled the “world’s slowest police chase.”

The incident occurred amid a surge in 4×4 thefts in Kununurra, where roughly ten vehicles are reported stolen each month. Authorities noted that the pursuit was deliberately restrained to avoid escalating risk, especially given the driver’s age. The case has prompted the Western Australia Police to reaffirm stricter guidelines for future chases involving minors, following criticism of past pursuit handling.
