Police say a woman asked paramedics for a ride before stealing their ambulance from Memorial Hermann in Pearland overnight.
Houston police said the keys were left inside the HFD ambulance, which was parked at the hospital.
The paramedics told the woman they would get to her in a minute, and that’s when she reportedly got inside and took off with the ambulance.
Investigators said for some reason, paramedics couldn’t use the ambulance’s GPS to track it after it was stolen.
An ABC13 crew was at the scene when officers finally found the ambulance on Alrover Street near Fuqua Street in southwest Houston.
Police said the ambulance wasn’t damaged and nothing inside was stolen, including the keys. The woman accused of taking it still hasn’t been found.
HPD did not immediately release her name or a suspect description.
