Police in Florida were taken aback when they pulled over a vehicle on a major highway and discovered that the driver was a 10-year-old boy. The incident occurred in Alachua, which is located hundreds of miles away from where the children were reported missing by their mother earlier in the week.

According to the authorities, the children had attempted to run away after their mother confiscated their electronic devices. The Alachua County Sheriff's office described the traffic stop as "high risk" and it took place late at night, at around 03:50 local time (07:50 GMT) on Thursday.

The vehicle involved was a white sedan, which had been reported missing by their mother in North Port, Florida. North Port is situated over 200 miles (320km) away from Alachua.

Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the children were upset with their mother for taking away their electronic devices, as she believed they were not using them appropriately. The sheriff's office stated that there was no evidence to suggest that the children were being mistreated at home.

The incident highlights the unexpected and potentially dangerous situations that law enforcement officers can encounter during routine traffic stops.
