Boys aged 5 'tunnel their way out of kindergarten' to buy 'grown up car' at Jaguar showroom

The boys made their way several kilometres to the Jaguar showroom in the Urals city of Magnitogorsk. They slid under the fence after digging out the soil for several days, having meticulously planned their escape. They fled from under the noses of their teachers during a late afternoon walk in the grounds of the kindergarten. 

Police were alerted immediately, but by then the boys were well on the way. 

A woman noticed them outside the Jaguar showroom as they gazed at the expensive cars. They eagerly told her they were there because they wanted a 'grown up car'.

It was unclear how much money they had brought with them.
