Police on Monday released photos of six teens they say hopped on an unattended MTA bus in The Bronx and took it for a joyride through Queens — adding that at least one of the suspects may have been involved in a second bus joyride a few hours later.
The suspects — whom police identified as four males and two females in their late teens — got on an empty No. 1010 bus shortly before 8 p.m. Dec. 23 while it was parked near Bruckner Boulevard and Hunts Point Avenue in Longwood.
Their hours-long joyride took them into Queens before the group returned to The Bronx and parked the bus at Westchester and Prospect avenues, about half a mile from where it was stolen, cops said.
Cops said the teens ditched the bus around 11:40 p.m., but police sources said it took the MTA approximately eight hours to recover the vehicle using GPS tracking.
That same day, three young men drove another bus out of a Brooklyn MTA depot, later ditching it about a mile and a half away.
Cops are looking into whether at least one of the hooligans was involved in both thefts.
“It may be that one or two were involved in both,” an NYPD spokesperson told The Post.
