A man stole an ambulance from outside Swedish Hospital on Chicago’s North Side and ignited a 15-mile police chase.
The drama unfolded around noon when the suspect, taking off in an unoccupied ambulance owned by Elite Ambulance, sped off right from the emergency room entrance.
Those reading this probably know, ambulances are not the fastest get-away vehicles. Also, they’re usually large, badged up, and hard to miss.
Law enforcement quickly tracked the runaway vehicle north, eventually finding it in a parking lot at an office complex near I-94 and Dundee Road in Northbrook.
The chase ended with the suspect’s arrest, and the ambulance was processed for evidence.
