Rowdy students rule

A GROUP OF ROWDY students took over a minibus travelling from Speightstown, St Peter, to The City last Friday.

In Black Rock, St Michael, a woman who heard the noise coming from the minibus and saw the behaviour of the children, began to take pictures with her camera.

"The noise coming from the bus and the students sitting on the top of the back seat caught my attention, so I snapped two photos. Just after I did, a police jeep going in the opposite direction turned around . . . just past Uniforms Unlimited and went to deal with the situation," she said.

Up to press time, police were unable to tell us if the driver was reported, but the same bus was photographed minutes later in Baxters Road, The City, by a passenger aboard a Transport Board bus behind them.

"The children were behaving badly, on top of the back seat, hitting the bus, cursing, bodies sometimes leaning out of the bus window - it was disgusting," she said.

"When the bus stopped by Jordan's [Supermarket], girls and boys fly through the window. It was unbelievable," the civil servant added.

The SATURDAY SUN contacted the owner of the bus yesterday, who did not speak with us.

The principal of the school was unaware of the incident, but said: "So far this school year I've not received any negative comments about behaviour aboard the PSVs . . . ." (SP/PA)
