BARNSTAPLE, England — An ambulance was parked outside a pub in England when a group of men celebrating a bachelor party locked the paramedics inside the vehicle and stole the keys.
The crew, who was not attending an emergency at the moment, was unable to respond to other emergencies for the rest of the night, Metro reported.
“This one mindless act had a substantial effect for quite some time, for other patients who might have needed our help,” said South Western Ambulance Service spokesperson Melanie Glanville.
The all-male party dressed in yellow stole the keys, locked the crew inside the ambulance and then broke the keys.
Police then sent several units to the scene. The incident is under investigation.
