A red double-decker bus that went missing last week has mysteriously reappeared, safe and undamaged.

The AEC Leyland Routemaster, which is rented out for events and has been used by Radio One DJ Chris Moyles, was taken from a locked yard belonging to Bristol Film and Television Services in Feeder Road, overnight last Wednesday.

But owner Stuart Reed received a call this Wednesday night saying the bus had been found and was now in a yard near to where it had originally been kept.

Mr Reed, 28, who lived in Nover's Hill, Knowle, before moving to Brighton recently, said: "I don't know where specifically it's been found but it's safe and I am arranging to pick it up. It appears there was a misunderstanding about it being stolen.

"I'm so glad because I've been ill with worry all week."

Avon and Somerset police spokesman Simon Whitby confirmed the investigation has been closed and no further action will be taken.
