A bus was written off when two drunken teenagers took it on a nine-mile joyride and then crashed it into a hedge.

Harry Atley, 19, and Thomas Bloomfield, 18, could be heard hysterically laughing as they stole the single-decker vehicle.

CCTV from inside the bus captured the incident which unfolded in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, back in November last year.

They drove the 41-seater nine miles, taking it in turns behind the wheel.

Eventually, the pair lost control of the vehicle, with the camera showing the vehicle veering off the road at 01:52am.

Atley and Bloomfield pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving.

They were given suspended sentences and banned from driving or two years.
