ROSEBURG, Ore. — Authorities say a woman in Oregon stole an ambulance while paramedics were inside a home dealing with a medical emergency.
The News-Review reports that Roseburg police and Douglas County deputies chased the stolen ambulance through the streets of Roseburg on Wednesday. They eventually arrested the female driver at gunpoint.
Douglas County Fire District No. 2 Chief Greg Marlar says a fire engine spotted the ambulance getting on the interstate and didn’t recognize the driver.
