Police Chase Burglary Suspect To Sherman Oaks Galleria

SHERMAN OAKS, CA — Police chased a burglary suspect along the San Diego (405) Freeway into the Sherman Oaks area. The high speed chase ended with three people arrested at the Sherman Oaks Galleria and an ongoing search for additional suspects.

Police tracked the suspect from the air. Authorities believe there were multiple people in the car, but only one person has been arrested initially. Police set up a perimeter in the area and arrested two additional suspectes 15 minutes later. Authorities believe at least one more suspect may be in the area.

Fox11 reports the suspect behind the wheel is wanted for multiple burglaries, and there may be several people in the car.

The chase led into the West Los Angeles and Palms area before moving north on the San Diego (405) Freeway, with the driver hitting speeds that topped 100 mph. Driving at times on the freeway shoulder, the suspect moved north on the Ventura (101) Freeway, then did an abrupt U-turn in the Encino area, moving south on the Freeway.

The driver side-swiped a truck while trying to dodge traffic on the freeway, damaging the driver's side of the sedan and causing a stream of smoke from the rear tire area.

The motorist then exited the 101 Freeway and drove into the Sherman Oaks Galleria parking area, out of sight of the police helicopter crew following the suspects from above.

Police swarmed the mall area and established a perimeter as they conducted the search.
