Bader Alzahrani was charged with transporting a stolen New Jersey school bus across state lines.

On Jan. 15, 2023, a break-in was reported in an unoccupied residential home in Livingston, New Jersey. During a search of a backpack in that home, law enforcement saw a Saudi Arabian passport with the name Bader Alzahrani, along with other items that appeared to belong to Alzahrani.

On Jan. 17, 2023, the Livingston Board of Education reported that a school bus was stolen from a parking lot across the street from the unoccupied residential home where the break-in was reported. Law enforcement officers located Alzahrani in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania,who was later found to be in possession of the keys to the stolen school bus.

As noted in the article below, a subsequent investigation found Alzahrani was keeping a journal with entries including:

“God I am ready for your orders. I want to live the rest of my life to serve you and the religion.” “Blood, blood, destruction, destruction. Allah.” and “Jews control everything.”

Livingston police said after his arrest that Alzahrani acted alone and that there was no threat to the public.
