So it's possible that he drove over from Ireland using the Ferry, what were the 'Border Force doing'?Boy, 14, sentenced for towing caravan down M4 - BBC News

If you believe that, you'll believe anything...So it's possible that he drove over from Ireland using the Ferry, what were the 'Border Force doing'?
It's perfectly obvious that he lives in the UK, probably on a travellers' site, and likely that all four do.

Just the UK legal system teaching him he can grow up doing just what he likes , pretty much the same as his parents amd all the others he lives with have been telling him all along.

I don't see where it's obvious he lives in the UK unless I'm reading a different BBC News Article
, it states he is from County Clare, I suspect that the Police Arresting him have established that fact!

I didn't read that the vehicle was confiscated.

Born in County Clare, but resident in the UK I'd say. The arrest was in October; the hearing was in March. Either the kid came back from Ireland for the hearing, or he was UK-resident. I'm pretty sure he didn't come all that way back five months later just for the hearing; that's not the way travellers operate - they just disappear and cannot be traced if there's serious trouble. Plainly he lives in the UK, and the family thought (quite rightly) that he'd get no more than a slap on the wrist.

Considering there is a large traveller site in Swindon that you can see from the M4, I strongly suspect that could be his residence.
