'Joyriders' steal ambulance from outside Hartlepool house..
 

An ambulance was stolen from outside a Teesside house by joyriders, police have said.

The vehicle was taken at 01:40 BST on Sunday while paramedics were inside the property at Wynyard Close in Hartlepool treating the victim of an assault.

It was later found abandoned nearby with its lights flashing and all its equipment intact.

The North East Ambulance Service said it could have put the patient's life at risk if they had been more badly hurt.

A Cleveland Police spokesman said it looked as if it had been taken for a joyride and appealed for anyone with information about the incident to come forward.

Twonks!

Where is this story from? Can't see a link :conf:

Thugs..

I got the story from BBC News under the England section Pyramid and I usually just copy/paste the story sometimes:).

Ah okay. Was wondering what age the perpetrators were - as I'm sure their parents would be the first to start shouting blue murder, about the lack of public services or the delay in them reaching them - if ever they needed such assistance - you know, then it would all be the government's fault and all that....

That is all that was on their story, so no idea..

Ah okay. thanks

Idiots
