Three young men were arrested in Shrewsbury today following an incident where a parked bus rolled forward and crashed after being boarded and its handbrake released.
Police were called to a report of a bus being involved in a collision at the town centre bus station in Raven Meadows at around 12.50am.
The vehicle crossed the road and collided with the bus station building.
