A patient’s son is suspected of following an ambulance to Athens Regional Medical Center and then stealing a box of narcotics after ambulance crew members took his mother into the hospital, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The suspect is seen in surveillance video footage arriving at the ambulance bay in an SUV with another male and then walking toward the ambulance from which the drugs were stolen, but what occurred next is obscured by a second parked ambulance.
The female patient was a Hoschton resident, police said, and the ambulance and narcotics belonged to Barrow County Fire Rescue.
