A Dallas Fire-Rescue ambulance was stolen early Saturday near White Rock Lake.

Paramedics were responding to a medical emergency in a home in the 9900 block of Coldwater Circle, near Peavy and Ferguson roads, about 4 a.m. when someone drove off in their ambulance.

Firefighters found the vehicle, damaged and ransacked, about three hours later in an alley about a mile away.

Dallas police said the ambulance struck a gas meter, damaging the right side of the vehicle. Medical supplies were missing. Police had no suspects.
