WAYNE, N.J. -- A private ambulance stolen in Paterson on Christmas night has been found abandoned in a township movie theater lot, but authorities say they remain baffled as to why the theft occurred.
The ambulance, owned by Paterson-based Alpha Care, was found Sunday by a Passaic County Sheriff's Department officer who had been patrolling at the nearby Willowbrook Mall. Authorities had been searching for the vehicle since it was taken from the home of an unidentified Alpha staffer.
The county bomb squad was called in as a precaution to ensure that the abandoned vehicle had not been tampered with, but no damage or devices were found.
I would be interested to know what, if anything, was missing.
Many things commonly carried in an ambulance can be used to make a kill or bomb.
