A woman in Georgia is being sought by authorities for allegedly stealing a school bus from an elementary school and driving it 40 miles before abandoning it.
Authorities in Georgia are actively searching for a woman accused of stealing a full-size school bus from Arbor Springs Elementary School's parking lot in Coweta County. The incident reportedly took place in the early morning hours of February 9, with the woman managing to take the bus without forcing entry, hinting that she likely had access to a key. After driving the bus nearly 40 miles, she abandoned it in Temple, Carroll County.
Internal surveillance footage from the bus has revealed images of the suspect during the theft, and a personal item belonging to her was noted on the front seat, providing investigators with potential leads. Despite the unusual and concerning nature of the incident, authorities confirmed that the bus was recovered with no visible damage, aligning with the timeline of events since it occurred outside of school hours when students were not present.
As the investigation continues, the sheriff's office is working to identify the suspect and determine her motives for this incident. The unusual theft raises questions about security at schools, as it highlights potential vulnerabilities that need to be addressed to ensure the safety of school property and the surrounding community.
