A 16-year-old Santa Cruz boy is expected to be questioned in relation to a stolen car he was caught driving through Curepe early on Tuesday morning. 
Police said officers of the St Joseph CID were on patrol on the Southern Main Road, around 1 am when they saw a silver Nissan hatchback Tiida with a license plate matching that of a car that was reported stolen in St James, hours earlier.
Police intercepted the car and found the minor.
Investigators said the car was rented by a 39-year-old woman who parked it near the Audrey Jeffers Highway at 10.23 pm on Monday.
The woman told officers that she walked on the nearby foreshore and had a conversation on the phone before returning to the area where she parked the car at around 11 pm when she realised it was missing.
