A man who stole a city bus from the MacNab Street transit terminal and went on a “joy ride” — including picking up passengers on an improvised route — was handed an extended sentence so he can secure a spot in a mental health and addiction treatment facility.
Earlier this year, Andrew Spindler pleaded guilty to stealing the bus, obstructing police and driving while prohibited in connection with the Nov. 11, 2025 incident that made international headlines.
