The crew from the private ambulance service was on a call when their rig was stolen.

An ambulance stolen from St. Louis early Monday was quickly located thanks to the GPS aboard.

Moments after the crew from a private ambulance arrived for a psychiatric patient early Monday, someone took off in their rig.

Medics gave police information about the ambulance's GPS, and they started to track it, according to Fox2Now. 

Police located the ambulance a short distance away and took a woman into custody. 

It was determined she briefly stopped at a church during her joyride. 

The ambulance was not damaged.
