Thieves stole a bus from a bus station then abandoned it near a cemetery.
The raiders broke into Chelmsford Bus Station in Duke Street in the early hours of Sunday morning.
They took the keys for a single decker bus and drove off.
It was later found abandoned at Chelmsford Crematorium with minor damage.
Sgt Chris White of Chelmsford police said members of bus station staff spotted two suspicious men hanging around before they closed up for the night.
