Jail for football fan who stole ambulance: Police discovered it parked outside drunkard’s house

An England football fan who drove 30 miles home in an ambulance parked outside a suspected heart attack patient's house was jailed for 16 weeks yesterday.


Tyrone Weir, 35, went to last month's friendly clash with world champions Spain at Wembley. 


He was drinking throughout the evening, but became separated from  his friends and had no money or means  of getting home.


He is believed to have walked to Hackney, East London, where he saw the empty ambulance with its engine running, and drove it home to Chelmsford in Essex. 


London Ambulance Service called police, who found the vehicle parked outside Weir's home. He appeared before magistrates in Chelmsford yesterday where he admitted taking a vehicle without consent, failing to provide a specimen of breath, driving without insurance and possessing cannabis.      More Read
