Shocking footage obtained by the
Townsville Bulletin shows police rolling up on a stolen 60-seater school bus in the drive-thru of a KFC in Annandale, before an officer draws his baton and attempts to smash his way through the front windscreen. After swinging the baton for minutes, another officer smashes the driver side window of the bus and climbs in, arresting the driver. Bradley Paul McNamara yesterday pleaded guilty to eight charges including two counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and one count of enter premises with intent, after he stole the bus from Giru on December 11, 2019. The bodycam footage also shows an officer s foot run over, when the bus tried to exit the drive-thru queue.
