Six teenage runaways who stole a car and drove around town for over three hours were arrested Friday.

The Gwangju Gwangsan police said the boys, aged 13, are accused of stealing over 32 million won ($28,000) worth of goods, including an Equus sedan.

They found the car parked on a roadside with the key inside and rode it around the city for 24 kilometers until the car broke down. They deserted the car and fled with the money they found inside the vehicle.

According to the police, some had stayed in Incheon for a while but all returned to Gwangju before long and were arrested one after another.

The police are currently investigating whether they committed other delinquent acts while they were on the road.
