San Francisco bus thief stopped in his tracks, 100 miles later
(CBS/AP) OAKDALE, Calif. - The man who stole a transit bus from a San Francisco terminal didn't keep his shirt on, and ultimately, didn't get away - although cops say he led them on a 100 mile chase before being arrested.
California Highway Patrol officers put down road spikes to flatten the tires and get the bus to stop on Friday in Oakdale, Calif.
The driver faces charges including reckless driving, failure to yield, and grand theft.
Alameda County Transit spokesman Clarence Johnson tells CBS San Francisco the bus had a GPS system that allowed authorities to track it.
No one was on the bus, and no one was injured. Johnson says the bus was parked, closed and locked at the terminal when it was stolen.
