The children drove 900 miles [900 km] in a stolen car

Officials explained that three boys and a girl were found yesterday in Grafton, New South Wales, after leaving Greysmer in Queensland earlier this week.

As one of his sons reported, he left a message to his parents telling them that they were leaving.

Police have announced they will file charges against children, but have not specified what work they will be charged with, the BBC reports.

The children stole a car from one of their parents, and they took money and fishing sticks.

After 40 miles [140 km] of driving, they stopped at the gas station in Banana City and stole fuel.

A pump employee told Sydney's Daily Telegraph that the surveillance cameras saw the vehicle enter “as if everything were normal”, but that the employee who went out to fill the reservoir was the really low “.

“He barely reached the window,” said a pumper.

On the same day, police spotted a car in Glenin City, not far from Grafton, and began following him, but stopped later, fearing that an accident could be caused in view of the driver's age.

The vehicle was then spotted in Grafton. The children were locked in the car and the police used a stick to break windows and arrest them.

Police believe children are more likely to be replaced during the trip, as the road between Graysmer and Grafton lasts about 10 hours.

In Australian states, Queensland and New South Wales, a person must have a 17-year-old complete driver's license.
