Police hunt bus driver following chase across Corporate Area

A manhunt is currently under way for a bus driver who reportedly lead the police on a chase throughout sections of the Corporate Area this afternoon.

The chase went up and down Slipe Road, into Cross Roads, and onto Marescaux Road before the bus was cornered near Connolley Road. 

According to the police, along with the bus driver and the conductor, students were seen darting from the vehicle with uniforms reportedly undone. 

After a search was conducted, marijuana and other smoking paraphernalia, as well as condoms were reportedly taken from the bus.

The conductor was subsequently found hiding in bushes and arrested by the police.

The STAR understands a member of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) raised an alarm after he saw students reportedly smoking on the bus as it drove along Slipe Road in downtown Kingston, with music blaring. 

The lawmen signalled the bus to stop, but the driver sped off, and the chase ensued.
