A 22-year-old Edmonton woman is facing over a half-dozen charges after police say a Sky Shuttle was stolen from Edmonton International Airport on Sunday afternoon.
It was about 4 p.m. when the woman got into a running Sky Shuttle bus that was running at the airport, the RCMP said. In a news release on Monday, police said she drove the bus past the Beaumont and Wetaskiwin RCMP detachments before heading to Edmonton on Highway 2.
