SEATTLE, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A recent fire truck thief in Seattle was not able to take his new ride very far.
KING5 reports that the suspect scootered up to the truck early Wednesday morning while fire crews responded to a medical emergency. A witness said the suspect managed to drive off with the truck’s lights and sirens still on.
However, his getaway ride was brief after the suspect neglected to fully deactivate the parking brake.
The fire truck only made it around the street corner before the 22-year-old suspect was taken into custody.
Seattle Fire Department reports their truck was not damaged in the incident.
