emergency vehicles used for a spritzing tour in Dusseldorf's Pempelfort district are stolen by a pair

In an unusual incident that unfolded early on Sunday morning, a 27-year-old woman from Düsseldorf and a 19-year-old man were arrested for stealing an ambulance while under the influence of alcohol.

The incident occurred at an apartment building at around 5:13 AM. The ambulance, which was parked in front of the building with the engine running, was targeted by the intoxicated couple.

The ambulance crew faced an unexpected challenge when they arrived at the scene. The woman became extremely aggressive and uncooperative, refusing to identify herself or provide any necessary information. The man, too, was uncooperative and could not produce identification.

As the paramedic was retrieving medication from the ambulance, the stolen vehicle began to reverse towards him. One of the paramedics had to run after the stolen ambulance to prevent any harm.

The man was quickly apprehended by the police after his details were recorded and his phone was seized. The woman was taken to the police station for identification and blood sampling.

Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances that led to this bizarre incident. The woman has been temporarily banned from driving, and both individuals face criminal charges.

It is worth noting that search results do not provide the name of the woman, as the investigation is still underway. However, it is known that she is a resident of Düsseldorf.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence and the importance of cooperation with emergency services. The public is urged to always prioritise safety and respect the roles of emergency personnel.
