French police arrested a 15-year-old boy behind the wheel of a powerful Porsche 991 Carrera.
The boy was stopped on the Salève Plateau near Geneva.
Police say they stopped the the car a few minutes later. In that time the boy and the passenger – a friend of the boy’s father – had swapped seats, say the police.
The boy’s father had to pay EUR 1,500 to recover his car. The boy will face charges for driving without a licence.
