One of them was carrying a bag full of money. Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. As the thieves were trying to get away in their car Roy drove his bus into the back of it.

罗伊·特伦顿曾经开过出租车。然而不久前,他成为了一名公交车司机,他并不后悔。他发现他的新工作更加令人兴奋。最近,当他沿着卡特福德街行驶时,他看到两个小偷从一家商店冲出,跑向一辆等候的汽车。

其中一人拎着一个装满钱的袋子。罗伊行动迅速,开着公交车径直向盗贼冲去。拿钱的人吓得把包掉在地上。当窃贼试图开车逃跑时,罗伊开着他的巴士撞到了车的后面。

当那辆被撞坏的汽车开走时,罗伊停下了他的公共汽车并打电话给警察。窃贼的车损毁严重,很容易辨认。不久之后,警察拦下了汽车,并将两名男子逮捕。
