A New York man with a history of impersonating transit workers and joyriding in subway trains allegedly stole a bus in New Jersey. Investigators said Darius McCollum, who has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome and has extensive knowledge of Metropolitan Transportation Authority procedures, entered an unsecured bus depot in Hoboken early Tuesday and stole a Trailways coach that had been parked with the keys still inside. Police tracked the bus using its GPS and pulled it over at 9 a.m. in New York. A police report said the suspect acted “like a gentleman” toward officers. McCollum was charged with grand larceny and possession of stolen property. He has previously been arrested 27 times during the past three decades, often for stealing subway trains.
