A 12-year-old boy allegedly stole a “big blue” school bus and went on a
brief joyride that was caught on camera before being stopped by two good
Samaritans, according to police.
The incident occurred Wednesday in Bangor, Maine, but the video was uploaded by police Thursday evening.
The clip, just over a minute long, shows a bus swerving side to side as
opposing traffic drives by before the bus stops at an intersection,
where the video stops.
John W. St. Germain III and his girlfriend, who were in their vehicle
behind the bus, saw it being driven by someone who appeared too young to
have a license, according to the Bangor police department's Facebook
page.
"These two, followed the bus and called the police department. She gave a
great description and we were on the way," the statement said. "The
description was, big blue bus with a kid driving. We knew exactly what
to look for."
St. Germain waited until the bus stopped at the intersection before
getting out his car and boarding the bus, taking control of it, police
said.
Authorities say the 12-year-old boy was taken into custody, adding in a
statement that "[police] urge everyone to keep their hands to
themselves, leave other people's things alone and be kind to one
another. We will be here!"
