Huntington Police identify, still looking for ambulance thief

HUNTINGTON W.Va. — Cabell County EMS say a man stole an ambulance from them in Huntington Monday morning.

Dash cam videos provided by Cabell County EMS show the man, later identified by Huntington Police as Anthony Ray Bell, 37, hop into the ambulance and drive away from the scene where crews had responded to an unresponsive patient at a home on Washington Avenue around 6:30 a.m.

According to Cabell County EMS Director Gordon Merry, the ambulance was missing for around 15 minutes and endured some minor damage after crashing into a home in the 600 block of Division Street West. No one was injured in the incident.

Huntington police are now investigating. They say Bell is wanted for felony stolen auto and several misdemeanor offenses.

Anyone with information about Bell is asked to call 911 or Huntington Police Department’s anonymous tip line at 304-696-4444.
