SYDNEY, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- A 15-year-old Australian boy has been charged with stealing the car of a good samaritan who came to the aid of four Queensland teenagers who had earlier crashed a stolen car.
Authorities allege the teen was driving the stolen car with three male friends when it crashed on a small country road west of Brisbane.
When a man stopped to help the group, the 15-year-old allegedly threatened him with a replica gun and stole his car.
The three passengers were left behind and taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Authorities arrested the 15-year-old alleged thief late on Tuesday night following an extensive police operation.
