Valley Burglary Suspects Lead Police On Two-Hour , Three-County Chase

LOS ANGELS, CA —A trio of burglary suspects led police on a dangerous high-speed across three counties Tuesday evening before the California Highway Patrol rammed their car to make it spin out. In the end, the driver and his two passengers were all arrested.

The chase began in Sylmar, as the Los Angeles Police and California Highway Patrol officers pursued a dark-colored Mercedes Benz, weaving along the Foothill (210) Freeway at speeds in excess of a hundred miles an hour.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the pursuit was initiated at Polk Street and Fenton Avenue at about 5:55 p.m. The California Highway Patrol took over the pursuit in the Ontario area. At one point officers attempted to end the pursuit by deploying a spike strip on eastbound I-210, but were unsuccessful.

The vehicle was eventually halted at around 7 p.m. in when a CHP vehicle employed a PIT maneuver, ramming the Mercedes and forcing the car to spin around 180 degrees and come to a stop on a surface street.

Three suspects were taken into custody without further incident.
