Man Steals Ambulance, Crosses into Mexico

In Brownsville, Texas, authorities are investigating the theft of a city ambulance that was taken by a man who initially requested medical assistance. The suspect, after jumping into the driver's seat, drove the ambulance towards the international border, crashing through barriers into Mexico. The vehicle was later found abandoned in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, but the suspect managed to escape. No injuries were reported during the incident, which has raised concerns about security at the border. Meanwhile, a separate incident in Refugio County involved the arrest of a man driving a stolen truck, which he intended to take to the Texas-Mexico border for payment. Both cases highlight ongoing issues with vehicle theft and border security in the region.
