Just over half an hour after police tweeted their report on the incident, another Twitter user replied with what appears to be a dashcam video of the chase.

The video, which has not been independently verified by blogTO, aligns with the timeline provided by TPS, showing a paramedic supervisor vehicle barrelling along Church Street with its emergency lights flashing.

A full account of the pursuit has not been shared by police, however, the vehicle was stolen at Spadina and Dundas, was seen travelling through the Church and Gerrard intersection, and was finally apprehended at Dundas and Victoria.

The theft has people wondering how the male driver managed to get access to the paramedic vehicle.

Was the key in the ignition and vehicle left unattended? Some good tips here. https://t.co/FufAaG8KPp pic.twitter.com/w5sfeTiszG

It's just another shocking story that has people comparing the GTA to the video game franchise it shares an acronym with (Grand Theft Auto) to illustrate the increasingly brazen criminal activity in Toronto.

The city is turning into GTA
