ST LOUIS – A woman was arrested after an ambulance was stolen. WTVI reports.
The ambulance was stolen shortly after the paramedic team received a call about a potential psychiatric patient around 2:30 a.m. on March 11.
St. Louis police immediately began tracking the ambulance using their GPS tracking device. The device's information was passed on to officers on scene, resulting in officers recovering the stolen ambulance minutes later in a neighborhood a few miles from where it was originally stolen.
Police said it is believed the ambulance stopped twice, including at a church, before it was found and the woman was taken into custody, WTVI reports.
