A Zimbabwe man stole a bus because he needed transport to pick up his driving licence, state media reported on Thursday.
The Herald newspaper said Stead Mashushire waited until the driver of a bus parked in a central Harare rank had gone to buy food before ordering all the passengers out and driving off in the vehicle. The driver and another motorist chased the bus and Mashushire was caught 7km away.
He admitted in court to stealing the bus and said he needed transport to pick up his driver’s licence. The court ordered Mashushire to undergo a psychiatric test. He remains in custody until sentencing on August 29. — Reuters
