Authorities in Georgia are searching for a woman accused of stealing a full-size school bus from an elementary school and driving it nearly 40 miles before abandoning it in another county, officials said.
The bus was taken from Arbor Springs Elementary School in Coweta County in the early morning hours of Feb. 9 and later recovered in Temple, a city in Carroll County, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
Investigators said the suspect did not have to force entry because she apparently had a key.
