Le vol s'est produit peu avant minuit au garage de la STM, situé à l'angle des rues Saint-Denis et Bellechasse.
Les malfaiteurs ont happé au moins cinq véhicules durant leur cavale d'une dizaine de minutes. L'autobus a été retrouvé dans le stationnement de l'Hippodrome de Montréal.

Je reste près de ce garage, et je suis certain que partir avec un autobus est un jeu d'enfant. Je ne vois pas de surveillance et plusieurs portes sont toujours ouvertes.

La majorité des gens ne sont pas au courant que ça ne prends pas de clé pour démarrer au autobus urbain. Suffit d'appuyer sur le bouton pour démarrer le moteur. Donc oui, c'est un jeu d'enfant partir avec un autobus.

Stolen bus plows into perfect spot
Joyride ends near Hippodrôme

SIDHARTHA BANERJEE
The Gazette

Nawal Bouchareb thought she'd found the perfect spot when she parked her Hyundai Elantra at the corner of Van Horne Ave. and Northcrest Place late Saturday.
But she hadn't counted on two men taking a joyride on a stolen Montreal Transit Corp. bus and taking a detour on to her quiet residential street.
Bouchareb emerged from her apartment about noon yesterday to find the car mangled and pushed half way up the sidewalk. It was a total loss and she was beside herself.
"I really picked a good spot last night," Bouchareb, a school board employee, said yesterday.
In a state of shock and disbelief, all Bouchareb could repeat between the tears was: "This must be some kind of joke."
Bouchareb's car was the most severely damaged of four cars struck on Northcrest.
A Pontiac Grand Am rental, a Ford Focus and a Honda Accord all parked on the same street sustained minor damage.
Montreal police said the city bus was stolen from a transit garage at the corner of St. Denis and Bellechasse Sts. just before midnight.
After causing some damage on Northcrest, the bus was found at the corner of Décarie and Jean Talon Blvds., in the parking lot of the Hippodrome de Montréal.
The bus was about five kilometres from where it was stolen. It, too, had sustained serious damage.
The joyriders had turned on the emergency light, alerting 911 and police to its final destination.
"We're looking for two suspects, but we don't have a lot more information right now," said Constable Miguel Alston, a Montreal police spokesperson. Witnesses told police the two suspects are French-speaking.
Most residents of Northcrest didn't hear the crunch of the metal during the collisions, or the tow trucks and television cameras that followed just before 1 a.m.
"I was here maybe five minutes after it happened," said tow truck driver Paul Davidson. "There was glass everywhere and the cars were on the sidewalk; it was a real mess."
"It wasn't your routine accident," he added.
Davidson spent much of the day waiting for the owners of the more damaged vehicles so he could get permission to tow them.
With police leaving notes on people's windshields, it fell to him and others to explain exactly what happened.
"You must be joking," said Bouchareb as Davidson explained about the stolen bus. "That is unbelievable."
The couple who owned the slightly damaged Honda Accord said they'd parked on Van Horne Ave. sometime after midnight, but didn't hear anything overnight.
Not long after they'd parked, the bus came barrelling down the street and struck their car.
The Montreal Transit Corp. did not return phone calls yesterday. As of last night, police had not made any arrests.
