A 32-year-old Whitby man has been arrested following the theft of a transit bus in Toronto.

Durham regional police say they got a call around 4:30 a.m. from an Ajax man who said his brother had stolen a TTC bus and gone for a joyride.

Officers found the abandoned bus in Whitby around 5:15 a.m. and, based on information received in the tip, they went to a house a few blocks away.

They arrested a 32-year-old man and later charged him with theft and possession of stolen property. His name hasn’t been published.

Police released him on a promise to appear.

Staff Sgt. Tim Maw says there were no injuries or damage to the bus.

The TTC confirmed one of its buses was missing. The driver had parked it at the Birchmount garage at 1:40 a.m. after completing his or her regular route.
