Boy steals church van, goes to school

GARY, Ind. (AP) - Northern Indiana police have arrested a 14-year-old boy who allegedly stole a church van and drove it to school because he didn't want to walk from his nearby home.

A Gary police officer was driving behind the van Friday but didn't notice that a boy was driving the vehicle until a school employee pointed it out to him. The officer says the West Side Leadership Academy student circled the school parking several times before parking.

The Times of Munster says the boy's mother said her son most likely got the keys to the van while attending choir practice at Evening Star Missionary Baptist Church in Gary earlier in the week.

Police say charges are pending against the boy.
