Hey there, time traveller!

A 12-year-old boy, who is accused of crashing a car into a city bus causing extensive damage to a downtown business, was arrested by Brandon police on Tuesday evening, according to two sources.
The boy was located by police near the Kristopher Campbell Memorial Skate Plaza, which is just steps from where he ran a red light and smashed into a Brandon Transit bus, forcing it to careen off the road before it came to a rest lodged in the front of a downtown business on Oct. 6.
The boy, who has an extensive rap sheet, was charged for breaching two conditions of his recognizance, including not being with his care providers and not attending school as required.
When reached for comment on Wednesday, a Brandon Police Service official said he couldn’t comment on the charges or the identity of the boy as they involved a minor.
The Winnipeg Free Press has chronicled the boy’s story for several years.
He has been a frequent runaway and ward of Child and Family Services, who has been involved in numerous criminal incidents, including an arson, car thefts, possession of drugs and weapons, robberies, assaults, uttering death threats and a near-fatal stabbing.
In each case, he couldn’t be charged because the Youth Criminal Justice Act doesn’t apply to children under 12.
