    A woman and a teenage girl were arrested after an ambulance was stolen from outside a flat complex in Dublin city in the early hours of this morning.
    The ambulance had been called to a flat at Rory O'Connor House at 3am.
    It was stolen while the ambulance crew were inside treating an elderly lady.
    A short time later, uniformed gardaí saw the ambulance being driven on Great Charles Street with its blue lights flashing.
    It stopped and a 27-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl jumped out and tried to run away.
    Another woman tried to stop gardaí arresting them, but they were detained and taken to Store Street Station.
    The girl was released at 6am and a file will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions. The woman is still being questioned at Store Street.

    How retarded would you have to be to do something like this? Are these people brain dead or do they just not give a fùck?

    A combination of both id say, the second caused by the first.

    I would go with the not give a **** tbh, terrible mentality some people have
    If it wasn't for the waste of an ambulance I would say it was a pity they didn't end up in a smoking wreck

    Both I'd imagine.

    I never wanted to hit people so much in such a long time. :mad:

    They work for Rockstar. It's just a publicity stunt for the upcoming GTA game.

    They should get a hefty sentence for this, someones life could have been put a risk.. Scum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,194 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Let me guess....A five year suspended sentence handed out to the 27 year old woman and a the 16-year old girl to be sent to a youth offenders hostel for 3 weeks....

    I think its mostly the second one. They would be smart enough to mind their own wallets - know where the next fix is coming from etc if it came to it

    if there were stiffer mandatory punishments etc etc etc...I've said it all before...probably so many times people are sick of it

    Oh reminds me of 2 lads from my town took a ferry across the Swilly. got hammered and missed the last ferry home.

    So they stole the lifeboat got halfway across and got into difficulty and ummm had to ring the lifeboat. Fun times and think they both just got fined

    A lad in these parts used to steal old tractors and the Garda low-speed car-chases were less than spectacular. They made Father Ted's milk-float episode look like Le Mans.

    Five years...you must be joking...we couldn't expect her to have that much self discipline to stay out of trouble and not steal another ambulance for 5 years!!!!...best make it 3 weeks as well.

    they should be horsewhipped, cat o nine tails etc (im not joking)


    unless of course there was an actual good reason for stealing the ambulance - not quite sure what that could have been though - one would need to get a good scriptwriter/solicitor on it asap

    Should have been flogged with a chain and put in jail.

    @OP: maybe they thought it was an ice-cream van.... ;)

    I dont think its right to be having fun times on life saving vehicles.
    There is a local legend here about 2 lads borrowing / stealing a double decker bus to pick up their mate at the airport. That's funny. Taking an ambulance while someone is being treated, and a lifeboat that ended up using up 2 is retarded.

    As punishment, these scum should be banned from ever receiving the assistance of the wonderful staff of our emergency services.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 810 ✭✭✭Laisurg


    As grim as it sounds some people just need to be put down, if someones like that at 27 all they'll ever do is cause people trouble.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,369 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    This was always the thing to do, given the opportunity.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,049 ✭✭✭discus


    There are a few decent judges in Dublin who might just give these pair of fucks a good sentence.

    And that bird who tried stop the gardai arrested them should get a good stiff fine.

    That the one the two lads dont know how to pick up their mate as theyve no car... as they walk past the bus garage, one of them hops over the wall and the other doesn't know what he's doing.
    After a bit, the guy comes out of the garage with a double decker.
    "what the f*ck ya doin???"
    "I thought we could pick him up with this??"
    "Dont be stupid!! We cant do that! The 77a doesn't go to the airport!"

    I would be all in favour of such a solution but there are practical difficulties

    there would have to be list kept of who was denied what etc open to abuse - I can think of some perfectly innocent yet pesky people I would put on it

    there would have to be id checks performed before receiving emergency assistance = would you like an EMT to insist upon seeing photo ID before treating you etc

    until there is a way of instantly identifying a person with almost 0% error then


    I think it would much easier to get the living **** beat out of them when its proven they done it and then deny them access to medical help.

    It does sound, and is grim. Relax yourself there.

    Maybe I was getting the joke and reality mixed up in my head :confused:

    make them work in an ambulance thay wont steal again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,369 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec

    Yes, I can see that pair of numpties doing a good job of administering medical help to the sick and injured. The patients would have to be driven straight to the mortuary.:eek:

    Ambulances surely need cleaning at the end of each shift - maybe a week getting HAZMAT/HACCP training and 4 months of shift work cleaning Dublin Fire Brigade Ambulances would sort out their horrible, miserable, welfare scrounging lives.

    somebody would have to supervise them, punish them when they didnt follow the programme etc

    see that they didn't shoot up while doing it, destroy medical equipment etc etc

    do you honestly think they would learn anything from the week of training......poor trainer if he had to show results at the end of a course of shaarun and samantaaa telling him or her to bleedin fuk off will yeh!

    there is a much simpler less resource consuming way of sorting them out.....problem is the whole system would have to sort itself out for it to work.

    Very, perhaps even completely brainless.

    Both I would say.

    Spread them out on the ground and drive the ambulance over their thieving arms. I'm sure then they will truly appreciate the value of the ambulance service

    i laughed a lot when i read this, i hope the paramedics are fired for being spas for a) not locking it and b) leaving the keys in it
    I dont care what happens the knackers, nothing will happen anyway other than suspended sentences
