Man Steals Bus To See Girlfriend

A Greyhound bus driver accused of stealing a $600,000 coach in New York told investigators he wanted to visit his girlfriend in another town. Police said Duane Snipes, 29, gave several excuses for taking the new bus from a New York Port Authority Bus Terminal on June 9th, including taking his daughter to school. He eventually admitted he took the coach so he could visit his girlfriend in Mount Vernon, New York. The bus was found abandoned in Mount Vernon last Wednesday evening and Snipes was arrested the following day. Security cameras captured him taking the bus from the terminal and disabling its security system. Snipes pleaded not guilty to grand larceny. Greyhound fired him.
