ATLANTA — An Atlanta teenager accused of stealing an ambulance turned himself in to police on Sunday, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Police say 18-year old Frank Howard took the ambulance on July 7 when EMS crews left it running and unlocked while responding to a call at an apartment complex in Southeast Atlanta.
When the responders returned to where they left their vehicle, they found it missing.
Police say the teen’s joy ride in the ambulance didn’t last long. The vehicle was later found wrecked in a nearby ditch with the engine running.
Nothing was reportedly missing from the ambulance.
Howard is being held in the Fulton County Jail with auto theft charges.
