Firewhirl: Another Stolen Truck Archives

Another Stolen Truck

Here is a story about a truck that was stolen from a fire department in Hickory, NC (via WSOCTV.com).

Police said a Hickory rescue squad support truck was stolen and the thief led officers on a chase eight miles through the city.

The chase ended in the east end of Hickory on along some railroad tracks. Emergency crews had to remove all of the equipment before a crane could move the truck off the side of the tracks.

According to police, Omar Rueda-Rodarte came up to the rescue squad base appearing sick. Police said, once inside the building, Rodarte he got into the truck and drove through the garage door.

This follows on the heels of a stolen fire department vehicle in San Francisco.

These are some very expensive joy rides.
