A joy-rider stole a Fort Hall ambulance while the engine was still running, then crashed it into a power pole in Pocatello.

This morning, firefighters parked the ambulance outside the Fort Hall rec center while they were working out.

A spokesman said they left the engine running, but thought it was still secure.

Someone got in through the back and stole it.

It was found crashed into this power pole, but the culprit hasn't been caught.

Fort Hall only has one other ambulance operational right now.

The damaged ambulance has four wheel drive; the other one does not.
