CONCORD — Following a tip Wednesday, police recovered a school bus stolen from an elementary school Tuesday night.

The bus had been abandoned and had minor damages, police said.Once police processed evidence, they turned the bus over to a Cabarrus County Schools representative.

A driver parked the bus at Coltrane Webb Elementary School on Spring Street after completing a route Tuesday afternoon. Someone entered the bus overnight and removed it from the school property. One other bus had been vandalized, with someone spraying a fire extinguisher over its interior.
