Two stories in the last week about youngsters stealing buses and joyriding.

On Saturday, a 20-year old stole a bus from a Stagecoach depot in Cumbria after drinking 7 cans of lager and went on a 30 mile trip.

Then on Tuesday, a 17-year old stole a Arriva bus that was left empty while the driver was on a break at Peterlee bus station, in County Durham, and driven across the county before crashing into cars and a wall.
