Dorset Council has issued an update after one of its buses was stolen and driven 20 miles.
A Dorset Council minibus was stolen from Melcombe Regis, Weymouth at 11.15am on Sunday, September 22.
The vehicle came to a stop in Fox Close, Bradpole at around 12pm the same day, and police arrested a 33-year-old woman from Weymouth on suspicion of theft.
Police say there were no reports of any injuries.
A resident of Fox Close said: "All I saw was it screeching round the corner with someone holding on behind what looked like a smashed window, with the police car hot on their heels."
Dorset Council has confirmed that the bus is out of action pending the investigation and repair, but adds that none of its transport services have been affected.
A Dorset Council spokesperson said: “We are working closely with our colleagues at Dorset Police regarding this incident.
"The vehicle has been recovered and, while it is off the road pending investigation and repair, none of our transport services have been impacted.”
Police enquiries into the incident are ongoing.
