A woman was arrested Sunday in Louisiana after she was found driving a stolen Dallas Fire-Rescue ambulance, officials said.
The ambulance was reported stolen from a station in East Dallas around 4:17 p.m., according to DFR spokesman Jason Evans. The discovery was made after the vehicle was assigned to a 9-1-1 call, and medics noticed it was missing when they went to drive it.
Officials were able to track the ambulance as it traveled east into Louisiana. Police in Bossier City found the unit and brought the woman who was driving it into custody, officials said.
The ambulance was retrieved and placed back into service about 3 a.m. Monday, Evans said. There was no missing equipment or medical supplies, and the vehicle had not been damaged.
The name of the woman who was driving was not released.
