Step.- A 28-year-old woman was arrested after stealing an ambulance and starting a police chase on Tuesday morning, July 2, in downtown El Paso, according to the El Paso Police Department (EPPD).
EPPD said the El Paso Police Auto Theft Task Force was called July 2 after an ambulance was reported stolen from Del Sol Medical Center at 10301 Gateway West.
Initial investigation revealed that Alasia Pamela H., 28, was at the hospital when she approached and entered the ambulance in the waiting area. She then proceeded to drive away, according to police.
Police said that upon receiving the report of the robbery, a police alert was sent to all units to be on the lookout for the ambulance.
At Emerson St. and North Loop Dr., a motorcycle officer observed the stolen ambulance and attempted to stop it. However, Alasia Pamela H. ignored the officer and continued driving, according to police.
