A bus belonging to the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC), reportedly stolen from Anakapalli district, was recovered in Alluri district on Monday.
A man has been taken into custody in connection with the alleged theft of the vehicle, officials said.
According to police, the bus, operated from the Narsipatnam depot, was stolen on Sunday night, leaving staff and officials stunned.
The vehicle had completed its scheduled trips to Tuni and was parked at the depot for maintenance when it went missing, triggering panic among authorities.
The bus driver promptly informed the depot manager and owner about the incident.
“This morning, we received a complaint from a person, named Raju, regarding a parked bus, which had been missing since the early hours of Monday,” Narsipatnam Circle Inspector Govindaraju said.

“A case has been registered, and a man has been detained in connection with the theft. We are further looking into it,” he added.
Further details are awaited.
