Channel 11 spoke with the firefighter whose car was broken into.
”It was like any other day. We got called out to go to call. We were there for multiple hours. We came back to our station. It was pretty late so I decided to spend the night,” said Jason. “I woke up in the morning to leave and came out to find my car broken into.”
Jason said his car was locked. He shared this photo and described the damage inside.
”Basically, the column was all busted out, tried to stick a screwdriver in there and apparently get away,” said Jason. “Fortunately, they didn’t get away with anything. I have thousands of dollars worth of tools in the truck, probably worth more than the car itself.”
The fire chief said it’s a shame people would do this to those trying to help and serve the community.
”I’m just out trying to help others and do the right thing. It’s terrible that people are out here doing that, especially to first responders,” said Jason.
Police are looking for leads so anyone with information on this case, call the Munhall police department.
