Bus was stolen from a Buncrana yard
The bus was started by using a stolen battery from a nearby bus
Buncrana Gardaí are investigating the theft of a vehicle from a yard at Umricam, Buncrana between Friday, June 16, at 5.45pm and Monday, June 19 at 8am.
The vehicle in question is a Ford Transit Bus registration number 08 DL 15315. The bus had been sprayed white but its original colour is yellow and the yellow paint is showing on the front bumper. The bus was used for parts only and was off the road.
A battery was stolen from another bus that was in the yard in order to get the stolen bus up and running. We appeal to anybody who may have come across this vehicle on the roads or parked up to notify gardaí.
Gardai are hopeful that someone will have seen or will see the bus because of its distinctive spray work. Please contact Gardaí in Buncrana with any relevant information on 074 93 20540 or call the Garda Confidential line on 1800 666 111.
