Authorities in Georgia are searching for a woman suspected of taking a full-size school bus from an elementary school and driving it nearly 40 miles before leaving it in another county, officials said.
The bus was reported missing from Arbor Springs Elementary School in Coweta County during the early morning hours of Feb. 9. It was later found in Temple, located in Carroll County, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
Investigators said there were no signs of forced entry, suggesting the suspect may have had access to a key. Surveillance cameras inside the bus captured images of the woman during the incident, along with a bag or purse visible on the front seat.
The bus was recovered without visible damage. Officials noted that the theft occurred on school grounds outside normal school hours, and the case remains under investigation.
“We’re asking members of the public, especially those in the Temple area, to come forward,” the sheriff’s office told the local station. “If anyone recognizes the person in the images, please contact Investigator Taylor.”
