BARRIE, Ont. – Two Alliston, Ont., men took the Redneck Limo for a joy ride Saturday night.

A modified bus that had been transformed by the owner into what he called the Redneck Limo had been left unoccupied in the Dunlop Street and Hart Drive area shortly after midnight Saturday.

Two intoxicated men seized the opportunity to drive the limo home to Alliston from Barrie.

Barrie police say bystanders saw the theft and helped in locating the vehicle, catching the pair red-handed southbound on Highway 400.

Both 28-year-old men were intoxicated – the driver almost three-times the legal limit – and they were both under previous court orders not to consume alcohol.

One of the men is also not allowed within Barrie’s city limits.

Both men were held for a bail hearing on charges relating to theft, possession, impaired operation of a vehicle, as well as breach of court-imposed conditions.
