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.
âThe person, the male subject, became aggressive with the firefighters,â 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 thatâs when things escalated.
âThe firefighters were trying to calm the situation by talking to him through the window,â said Levy.
He wasnât giving up.
âThe male subject was able to force his way through the window of the driverâs side of the ambulance onto where the driver was sitting,â said Levy.
