Car Chase Ends Inside OC Chase Bank: Cops

ANAHEIM, CA — It's not every day that a car chase ends in a Chase bank branch. On Tuesday night, one suspect was injured when he crashed the reported-stolen vehicle he was driving into a Chase bank building on Euclid Street, Anaheim police Sgt. M. John said.

The vehicle broke through the wall in a resounding crash just under the bank sign, and hung in balance as officers arrived.

Police responded to a car dealership just after 11:30 p.m. as the suspect's vehicle emerged from a car dealership, prompting a pursuit, John said.

The short chase ended when the suspect lost control and crashed the vehicle into a Chase bank at 500 block of N. Euclid St., according to John.

"The suspect fled the vehicle on foot and was apprehended shortly after," he said.

The suspect was taken to a hospital for injuries he sustained in the crash, but his condition was not immediately available.

No other injuries were reported.

"The man was expected to be arrested on suspicion of burglary and auto theft," John said.
