A young man without a driver's license caused havoc in Aasiaat early Sunday morning when he stole a vehicle while drunk and went for a drive through the city.
The police received the report at 05:32 after the young drunk driver had caused two traffic accidents, causing material damage to both the car and other objects.
Despite the reckless driving, neither the driver nor any other people were injured, and the police soon stopped the man, who has now been charged with, among other things, theft and the damage caused, according to police chief Thomas Jeppesen.
