BUSES STOLEN FROM PORT AUTHORITY TERMINAL

NEW YORK (CBS) CBS 2 has learned three buses were stolen from the busy Port Authority Bus Terminal on 42nd Street and it has authorities worried about a possible terrorist threat.

Two of the buses were found in Irvington and a suspect was arrested. Officials say this particular incident was not terrorist related.

But what has them worried is how easy it was for the buses to be taken. Officials say if the suspect could do it, anybody could.

The thefts happened over the past two weeks.

“This individual went to the Port Authority, actually got on the bus which was unoccupied. There was a clipboard with a key in the bus, took the key started the bus and drove off,” explains Union County Prosecutor Ted Romankov.

Officials say they're working on a system to make it harder to start the buses. And they are still looking for the third bus.
