The boy lives near Dokka, a town about 110
kilometers north of Oslo. Sometime before 0600 local time, he loaded his
18-month-old sister into the car and headed for their grandparents in Valdres,
about 60 kilometers away, local police said.He drove more than 10 kilometers before he veered off the road. A snowplow
driver found him and alerted the police.
"The parents woke up and discovered that the children were missing and that
someone had taken off with their car. They were pretty upset, as you can
imagine," said Baard Christiansen, a spokesman for the Vest Oppland police
district.
"The boy told the snowplow driver that he was a dwarf and that he had forgotten
his driver's license at home."
Police said no charges would be filed and the case was closed.
"We have talked to them, and I'm pretty sure they're going to pay very close
attention both to their children and to their car keys in the future,"
Christiansen said.
The children were not injured and the car was not damaged, police said.
