Reckless Thief Steals Ambulance Near Rockford IL

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A Rockford man stole an ambulance truck from a hospital yesterday. He found the privately-owned ambulance unattended in the emergency room parking lot of Rockford Memorial Hospital. The thief drove off and continued to drive until his location was called in by another driver on the road.

The thief was finally found and arrested by Belvidere police. He was then returned to Rockford, where he was booked and is now facing charges of aggravated assault of a police officer and motor vehicle theft.
