14-Year-Old Steals Bus for Third Time in Six Months
Can you really be mad at this kid? I’m actually kind of impressed.
A 14-year-old boy in Norway is making a habit out of something most people would consider a one-time mistake.
Police say the teen stole a bus in Oslo and drove it more than 300 miles to Kristiansand before officers finally stopped him.
According to authorities, the bus was reported stolen early Sunday morning after motorists called police to report erratic driving and noted that the driver appeared unusually young.
When police pulled the bus over west of Kristiansand, they confirmed the driver was a 14-year-old boy.
Thankfully, there were no passengers on board.
What makes the story even more remarkable is that this was not his first time behind the wheel of a stolen bus.
It wasn’t even his second.
Police say this is the third time in the last six months that the teen has stolen a bus.
Earlier this year, he allegedly stole another bus in Oslo and drove it all the way to Sweden.
In November, authorities say he stole a bus in Stavanger, drove it around for three hours, and then returned it himself.
After the latest incident, the boy was taken into custody and turned over to child welfare services.
Police described the case as very serious, noting the significant danger created by a 14-year-old driving a full-size bus on public roads.
The bus company has been notified, and the investigation is ongoing.
I say, just hire the kid already. Let him live his life long dream.
