Ambulance found abandoned, thousands of dollars in medical equipment stolen from inside

Sheriff's office in Wahkiakum County, Wash. says valuable medical equipment was stolen from an ambulance.

Officials with Wahkiakum County, Wash. say a stolen ambulance has been found abandoned, but it was stripped of expensive medical equipment.

It was stolen between Tuesday, Dec. 11 and Wednesday, Dec. 12 from the Grays River Hall District #3.

The ambulance was found abandoned on Kandoll Road the next day, with all of its doors and compartments open. 

Officials say pricey medical equipment was stolen, and they have no leads on a suspect.

The stolen items are valued between $45,000 and $50,000, and include chainsaws, MSA air packs, a "jaws of life" tool, and a life pack heart monitor. 

Mark Leitham, the fire commissioner, is glad they didn't ruin the ambulance.

"Thank God they didn't wreck the ambulance, thank God they didn't take a knife to the seats, they didn't vandalize anything, they just took these higher-dollar items that are hard to replace," he said.
