A woman was caught stealing an ambulance in Kaohsiung City. On the morning of the 5th, while a paramedic from the Xinxing Fire Station was transporting a dialysis patient to the hospital, a 41-year-old woman, surnamed Cai, took the opportunity to drive off with the ambulance because the crew had forgotten to remove the keys. She sped away for over 10 kilometers. The police tracked her down using the ambulance's GPS system to Kaohsiung Port, where she was ultimately arrested. Cai's mental condition is unstable, and she has been referred for legal proceedings. The fire department also stated that they will strengthen personnel training to prevent similar incidents from occurring.
A ambulance from the Kaohsiung Fire Department's Xinxing Division was transporting a dialysis patient to the Veterans General Hospital on the morning of the 5th. Due to the emergency situation, the paramedics did not have time to remove the car keys when getting out. Unexpectedly, a woman took the opportunity to drive off with the ambulance, traveling over 10 kilometers along the way. Since the ambulance was equipped with a tracking system, the police quickly pinpointed her location and ultimately arrested her near Kaohsiung Port, following legal procedures.

The incident occurred at the entrance of the Veterans General Hospital's emergency room, where two paramedics had just pushed the patient out of the vehicle. Thirty seconds later, a woman took the chance to approach and casually climbed into the driver's seat to drive the ambulance. The woman honked the horn while driving, and upon receiving reports, the police immediately conducted a manhunt. Because the ambulance was equipped with a tracking system, the police quickly tracked her movements and intercepted her near Terminal 10 at Kaohsiung Port.
Regarding this incident, the head of the Boai Fourth Road Police Station stated that once the police received reports from the tracking system, they quickly reviewed the surveillance footage. The suspect's mental condition is suspected to be unstable, and she has not provided an explanation for her actions in driving the ambulance.

The car theft incident occurred around 11 AM, and the stolen vehicle was an ambulance from the Xinxing Division of the Fire Department. At that time, due to the urgency of the patient's condition, the paramedics were unable to remove the keys in time, allowing a female patient who had come to seek treatment to easily get in and drive away. The woman, named Cai, is approximately 41 years old, and after stealing the ambulance, she drove around the city, covering over 10 kilometers. In response to this incident, the fire bureau emphasized that they would increase personnel training to reduce the occurrence of similar events.
Since the total value of the ambulance and its equipment is about 5 million NT dollars, fortunately, the vehicle was not damaged. As for why the woman named Cai stole the vehicle, the investigation is still ongoing, and the case has been sent for processing according to laws related to theft and obstruction of public duty.
