School Bus Stolen In Newark Friday

On Friday, May 17, 2024, at 9:50 a.m., The New Castle County Division of Police responded to a report of an unoccupied and unattended theft of a yellow school bus at the unit block of Marrows Road. The bus is marked “Rohan’s Bus Service Inc”,  with bus number 850 on the side, and bears Delaware license plate number C65296. Its last known location was at the Brookside Shopping Center. Citizens are urged to be on the lookout and report any sightings to the authorities immediately.

FSU learned of the theft shortly after noon and did not immediately report it so authorities could search for the bus without a lot of false sightings being called into 911.

We were later told that the bus may have been involved in a hit and run accident and later a chase on I-95 in Maryland. Police have not confirmed those details.

Police are asking anyone who has any information regarding this incident or the location of this yellow school bus to email S/Cpl.Flores-Reyes at [email protected]
