ST LOUIS — A woman was taken into custody after an ambulance was stolen,
The ambulance was stolen shortly after the medic crew arrived at a call regarding a potential psychiatric patient around 2:30 a.m. on March 11.
St. Louis police immediately started to track down the ambulance through its GPS tracking device. The device’s information was shared with officers in the field, leading officers to recover the stolen ambulance minutes later in a neighborhood a couple of 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.
The ambulance belonged to a private company.
