A stolen emergency vehicle has been located.

Earlier this month, a firefighting slip-on was stolen from the Highlands-Caveat Fire Brigade Station following a break-in.

Crewed by two firefighters to perform first attack on spot sized, remote, or difficult to access fires, the vehicle is a small but mighty essential resource for the volunteer-based brigade.

CFA District 12 shared the news about the theft via Facebook on January 9, with the post gaining quick traction.

Before long, it had been shared over 8000 times and garnered a strong reaction from locals, who expressed their disgust at the ‘deplorable’ crime.

“Stealing emergency services stuff is a new low,” commented one user.

“I’m so angered to see this. For everything that you do for the community, this is deplorable,” commented another.

Police located the vehicle parked in a service station on the Hume Highway near Tallarook on January 10, and attempted to intercept it, before it allegedly collided with an unoccupied police car then drove away.

The vehicle was located abandoned a short time later on the Hume Freeway near Wallan.

On Monday, detectives from the Alexandra Crime Investigation Unit arrested a 36-year-old Melton South woman, who is expected to be charged on summons.

A male suspect is yet to be identified.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
