Only in Hungary: Drunk women steal and drive around in a bus worth of 166,000 Euros
Four women got drunk and somehow managed to steal an entire bus on their way home at 2 a.m. in a small town near Szeged, Csongrád county. They are now facing the consequences.
The women stole the bus from the bus station in Sándorfalva, a small town 14 km from Szeged, Csongrád County. Then, the delinquents drove around town for an hour, Index reports.
The incident happened around 2 a.m. on 6 April 2019. The women decided to leave the playground where they had been drinking because they were cold. They went to the bus station and somehow managed to open a parked bus. According to their records, they just wanted to keep themselves warm.
According to the indictment, two of the four offenders worked for the bus company as cleaners, and therefore they knew how to operate the vehicle without its keys. They continued to talk and drink inside the bus.
Things escalated quickly when one of the women got behind the wheel and drove around the station, just for fun. Later they left the station and headed towards the streets nearby. Then, they decided to visit a tobacco shop in Szeged.
They wanted to pick up their colleague, a bus driver who lives in Szeged and was supposed to start his shift at dawn. They thought it would be fun to surprise him.
The delinquents returned to the Sándorfalva bus station around 4 a.m. On their way back, they run over two traffic signs. Apart from the road signs, their wild adventure resulted in 1,800 Euros worth of damage to the bus itself.
As one of the four offenders is a juvenile, police ceased all proceedings against her. The woman who was driving the bus is facing DUI charges, and all three adult women face charges of unlawfully taking a vehicle.
