Ambulance Goes Missing

On the night of July 21, 2021, a private ambulance was stolen directly from a hospital. The vehicle belonged to one of our clients. The individual took the vehicle while the employee was inside. A guard attempted to stop him, but the thief pulled out a knife and drove away. As the ambulance sped away the guard shot one of the rear tires. He got away for about 15 minutes before the police caught him. Little did he know that there was a GPS tracking camera recording everything he did.

As soon as the dispatcher knew the vehicle was stolen, she turned on the live video to watch the entire event in real time. She could see the ambulance moving across the map. This helped her guide the police to the exact location. With the driver facing camera she could also clearly identify the individual.

Video Evidence

A complete video record of the driver and the road was captured and downloaded for evidence. The GPS records were also included. This provides great evidence to the police as well as the insurance company in case there was any damage.

This story is a great example of how GPS tracking cameras can provide benefits in unusual ways. A solid, reliable record of what happens in and around your vehicles is good business practice. You never know what might happen.
