Bus stolen in Bergen
A bus was stolen from Oasen bus terminal in Bergen, Norway, by a suspect in his 30s who was suspected of drug use.
In a recent incident in Bergen, Norway, a bus was stolen from the Oasen bus terminal while the driver was on a break. The police have reported that the suspect, a man in his 30s, has refused to provide a statement regarding the theft. After the incident, the suspect was taken to the hospital due to suspicions of substance use. Fortunately, no passengers were aboard the bus at the time of the theft, and there were no injuries reported.
According to Knut Dahl-Michelsen, the operations leader of the West police district, the stolen bus initially drove from the terminal towards the Løvstakktunnelen. After turning around in a roundabout, it returned to Oasen and then came to a stop at Lynghaug, where the suspect fled the scene. The theft occurred during a brief moment when the bus was parked, indicating a lapse in security protocols at the bus terminal.
This incident raises concerns about the safety and security measures in place at public transport facilities like the Oasen bus terminal, especially when vehicles are left unattended. As investigations continue, it highlights the need for improved security to prevent similar thefts in the future and ensure the safety of both drivers and passengers in such public transportation hubs.
