A 15-year-old boy drove off in a firetruck from the Strinestown Community Fire Co. station over the weekend after walking out of a juvenile facility in Springettsbury Township and stealing a county-owned vehicle he drove to the station, officials said.
It happened in the early-morning hours of Sunday, Aug. 12, according to Northern York County Regional Police — one of three local police departments investigating the teen's actions.
Police said the teen stole a county-owned Ford Explorer from the parking lot of the York County Youth Development Center after leaving the facility and drove the SUV to the Strinestown station.
The youth who stole the SUV had walked out of the Youth Development Center but was not an escapee, county spokesman Mark Walters confirmed.
