Two 15-year-old boys are accused of breaking into a secured lot in Portland and stealing a TriMet bus, right under the noses of the employees who were on lunch break.

Police say the boys boldly walked through the secure area at the Center Street Garage in Southeast Portland late one Monday night, while 12 employees at the garage were on their lunch break, leaving the area unguarded. 

The teens drove the bus toward Milwaukie, Oregon, and were quickly arrested by Clackamas County law enforcement just after midnight the following day.

Investigating officers found an empty spot where a TriMet bus should have been parked, along with damage to a parked bus.

The teen who was driving was wearing a TriMet uniform when he was arrested. 

He was charged with unauthorized use of motor vehicle, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, burglary, criminal trespass, interfering with public transportation, failure to perform the duties of a driver and criminal mischief. He was reported as a runaway and was wanted on an outstanding probation violation.

The 15-year-old passenger was arrested for unauthorized use of motor vehicle, possession of stolen motor vehicle and criminal trespass. He was listed as a runaway from Deschutes County.
