Police are investigating after video footage emerges showing a toddler behind the wheel of a car or ute, appearing to drive through suburban streets in Perth.
Multiple outlets report the child appears to be seated in the driver’s position while the vehicle moves along roads. The child is described as about three years old. Police say they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the footage, including how the child came to be in the vehicle and the location and timing of the incident.
The reports broadly agree on the existence of the video and the general scenario: a young child seemingly steering while the car or ute travels on Perth roads. Outlets differ slightly in wording, such as whether the vehicle is described as a car or a ute, and how the incident is framed, but all attribute the matter to an ongoing police investigation prompted by the circulation of the footage.
