Teens joyride in school bus stolen in Detroit, owner urges them to return it
DETROIT (WXYZ) — Detroit police are investigating after a group of teens allegedly stole a school bus and took it for a joy ride.
The bus is still missing. The owner of transportation company EllaMin’OP is asking the teens to bring the bus back.
Owner Darelle Beaver says he expanded his transportation business about a year ago to help local school districts bus students back and fourth.
“The schools don’t want to hear, the parents don’t want to hear that someone stole the bus. They’re just trying to figure why their children’s bus is not at the bus stop on time,” Beaver said.
Beaver says a driver of his dropped the bus off at corner of Brock Avenue and Young Street, an agreed upon location, Saturday night.
Beaver, who also shuttles party buses, had just got done with his ride before heading that way.
“I contacted the driver and he told me exactly where he left it at and it wasn’t there, so I started doing research asking if anyone saw the bus and no one seen the bus,” Beaver said.
With his livelihood and reputation at stake, Beaver decided to make a post on Instagram.
“I start receiving inboxes basically saying, it is some kids that are joy riding my bus. When I did the research, I actually seen them on my bus on their Instagram page,” Beaver said.
Beaver says the video shows a group of teens living it up on the bus and at one point even dancing on top of it.
“I was a kid before. I understand they were just having fun. Just return the bus and be careful because it is not a toy,” Beaver said.
Ironically enough, Beaver says he does a lot of work with young people who are trying to better their lives. And he says he’d be willing to nudge these teens in the right direction.
“I go to juvenile detention and I DJ for them. When they turn 18 years old, I actually help them get their license and help them actually start a career with CDL training, so most definitely. I don’t want them to be locked up behind this, so just change,” Beaver said.
The Detroit Police Department’s commercial auto theft unit is investigating. If you know anything call 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
It hasn’t been an easy road for the Detroit Lions. At this point, everyone knows the history. For decades, the franchise felt as though they couldn’t get things right. Even when there were glimmers of hope from Hall of Famers like Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, they couldn’t get enough together to make things click.
Then, after an especially embarrassing performance on Thanksgiving back in 2020, Lions principal owner Sheila Hamp said enough was enough. She cleaned house before the end of that season and immediately began laying the groundwork of her plan to make this team a consistent winner—something the city and its fans can be proud of.
That plan led them to hire both coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes in 2021, and the two got to work. Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network joined “The Insiders” to discuss how the Lions have built a Super Bowl contender in Detroit, and how it wasn’t an immediate success by any means.
Wolfe dove into how Campbell leads the team, including some specific examples from left tackle Taylor Decker that really highlights just how good of a communicator Campbell is as a coach. You can listen to the full segment from Wolfe below.
Lions have NFC’s best record and NFL’s best point differential.

How dominant have the @Lions been this season? They’ve won 8 straight..going for 9 against the @Colts on Sunday…haven’t won 9 in a row since 1934. Also..Detroit has 2 50+ point games this season. All 31 other teams have combined for….1 pic.twitter.com/Czm9q3nQ48

- Best safety duo in the league and it’s really not much of a debate.
- I hope Indianapolis is ready for a different shade of blue to take over their town for the weekend.
(CBS DETROIT) — Neighbors near the only Michigan Sheetz store welcome the addition to their community and believe expansion is good for state.
“It makes my life a whole lot easier and I love it,” said Wendy Drew, who lives half a mile from the first Michigan Sheetz store. “I use a lot of gas and it’s always cheaper there than the two other gas stations we have.”
However, every community isn’t keen on the proposed expansion of up to 80 new locations of the Pennsylvania-based chain of convenience stores.
Earlier this week, the Middle East and Northern African Chamber of Commerce (MENA) held a panel for independent gas station owners who are concerned about the large chains ability to undercut their prices.
“Sometimes you need competition like that,” said Robert White, who lives near the Romulus location. “You have to play the game.”
“The other two gas stations near me are ridiculous,” said Drew. “And my truck takes a lot of gas. I like Sheetz.”
