Carjacking suspect in custody after pursuit in L.A. County
At least one person was arrested after a pursuit of a vehicle that was believed to have been carjacked in Los Angeles County.
Two suspects were leading deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in a chase that started somewhere near South Gate, ran through Maywood and ultimately ended in Vernon.
Early in the pursuit, in the area of South Gate, the suspect vehicle pulled over and the driver reportedly jumped out of the car as the person in the passenger seat moved into the driver’s seat and sped away again.
Footage from Sky5 showed the second driver in a slow speed pursuit after running over a spike strip that flattened the two front tires. As the driver attempted to keep going in Vernon, he turned onto the bike path running along the L.A. River, where he stopped the vehicle and was taken into custody.
It is unclear if the suspect that jumped out of the vehicle has been taken into custody.
