Burglary suspects out of O.C. lead CHP in pursuit into L.A. County
Authorities with the California Highway Patrol were in pursuit of a driver and two passengers who were wanted for a burglary out of Orange County.
The suspects were leading officers in a chase on the northbound lanes of the 57 Freeway north of Brea before transitioning to the westbound 60 Freeway. Later, the chase moved to the northbound 710 Freeway.
Sky5 picked up the pursuit as the suspects were speeding through northbound lanes of the 101 Freeway, weaving in and out of traffic as CHP officers followed close behind.
After exiting the freeway at Rampart, the suspects bailed out of the vehicle and ran into the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, near Bellevue Avenue and Coronado Street.
Officers with CHP also exited their cruisers and were searching for the suspects in the neighborhood. Authorities were also circling the area from the air. Before long, one of the suspects was taken into custody.
