VIDEO: Surveillance video has been released showing a fire truck on the move after someone attempted to steal it from a fire station in Lauderhill.
“The person, the male subject, became aggressive with the firefighters,” said Lauderhill Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Levy.
He climbs into the truck, lights it up and throws it into reverse, before eventually being dragged out.
Police said his name is Freddie Ross. They said, Tuesday night, at Fire Station 110 in Lauderhill, a crew returning from a call saw something strange and got on their radios.
He kept walking toward the ambulance, and that’s when things escalated.
“The firefighters were trying to calm the situation by talking to him through the window,” said Levy.
He wasn’t giving up.
“The male subject was able to force his way through the window of the driver’s side of the ambulance onto where the driver was sitting,” said Levy.
