Teenager stole bus and drove over 300 kilometers - again

A 14-year-old boy has been taken into custody by police in Norway after he stole a bus in Oslo and drove it to Kristiansand, just over 300 kilometers away. It was the third time the boy had driven off in a stolen bus.

Earlier this year, he stole a bus in Oslo and drove it across the border into Sweden. In November, he hijacked a bus in Stavanger, driving it around for three hours before returning it, NRK writes.

Task Force Leader Rune Isaksen at the Øst Police District, where the boy lives, is taking the incident seriously.

"Just like in previous cases, we take it very seriously that a boy at such a young age steals a bus and drives it into traffic," he says, according to NRK.

The police in the Agder Police District, which includes Kristiansand, were alerted to the empty bus after drivers reacted to the driving and reported that the driver looked young.
