Two men were arrested in Seaford last night after they broke into a storage yard and made off with a passenger bus.
The alarm was raised when a witness noticed two men with bolt cutters break into the depot on Milne Avenue about 7.30pm.
Frankston police were quickly on scene and spotted the decommissioned bus in Bardia Avenue travelling in convoy with a 2010 Holden Colorado utility.
Police activated their lights to intercept the vehicles before they pulled over to the side of the road.
The driver of the bus, a 43-year-old man from Dandenong and the driver of the utility, a 34-year-old man from Seaford, were arrested at the scene.
The pair have been charged with theft of motor vehicle, possess drugs and unlicensed driving.
They have both been bailed to appear before Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 26 March 2025.
