HATZALAH AMBULANCE VANDALIZED!

Somewhere between 4:00am and 7:00am the Hatzalah Ambulance [CH-3] that is parked in front of 770 had been vandalized. In a despicable act of vandalism both the ambulances mirrors had been torn off its sides, causing damage of over $1,500 a mirror.

People that were dancing in front of 770 until 4:00am confirmed that when they left the mirrors were intact, and no one remembered anyone loitering around 770 that could have been a suspect.

At 7:00am a Hatzalah member that was passing noticed one of the mirrors missing and assumed that it was knocked off by a passing vehicle, but when another member came to the ambulance and saw the other mirror smashed on the floor it was apparent that this was an act of vandalism.
