    Fore! Golf buggies in low-speed highway chase

    SYDNEY
    Mon Oct 27, 2008 9:14am EDT

    SYDNEY (Reuters) - A group of boys who stole a golf buggy from a resort in northern Australia sparked a low-speed highway chase when they were pursued down a major highway by two resort employees in a second buggy.

    Oddly Enough

    The chase occurred last Monday when the five boys, aged between 10 and 16, took the buggy from the resort near the city of Darwin, the Northern Territory police force said in a statement on its Website.

    After running along the main Stuart Highway, the chase ended when police arrived and the boys abandoned the buggy. One of them, a 10-year old, was arrested, but the others escaped.

    The buggy was retrieved and returned to the resort undamaged, police said.
