And finally… wrong gear

An attempted carjacking apparently failed after the 17-year-old perpetrator realised he didn’t know how to drive manual transmission.

Quinderris Brown has admitted robbing a man in Jefferson County, Alabama of his phone, tablet and car keys at gunpoint and driving off in his vehicle, before promptly having car troubles.

He was forced to abandon the car and flee on foot, but police were able to track him down through the victim’s mobile phone.

Mr Brown admitted his role in the attack and has been released on bail.
