A 15-year-old boy who took part in a night raid on Saville's Garage at Mustow Green was injured when his car crashed during a police chase.

He was taken to hospital after the car crashed into a wall on the Spennells estate, Kidderminster Youth Court heard.

Police had been alerted by an alarm and arrived to find the garage's computers outside, ready to be loaded into the raiders' Cavalier car, taken from the Ferndale estate in Kidderminster.

The boy was sentenced to four months detention. He admitted burglary, taking the car and damaging it and being on the road without insurance.

The magistrates imposed a one-year driving ban.
