DETROIT — A fake emergency led to first responders being targeted by thieves on Detroit’s east side, police believe.
It started at the plaza on Crane Street near Gratiot Avenue when a woman dialed 911 claiming she had chest pains. An ambulance with two medics arrived. While both begin catering to the woman in the back of the rig, the man she was is said to have walked up to the front and began to steal whatever he can get his hands on.
He was able to get away with the emergency medical technician’s cell phone before they figured out what was really going on and started chasing him.
