A suspect wanted for grand theft auto was apprehended on Crenshaw Boulevard in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles after a vehicle pursuit that took place on several Southland freeways and side streets. The suspect was cornered by a pickup truck on Thursday.
The chase began around 3 p.m. when the Los Angeles police started following the man suspected of grand theft auto, potentially on the Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway. News stations quickly started broadcasting footage of the pursuit, showing a black sedan leading multiple police units north on the Harbor (110) Freeway. The car had a tricolor flag of red, yellow, and green waving from the sunroof, and the driver was seen throwing items out of the car roof along the way.
The suspect continued driving west on the Santa Monica (10) Freeway, passing USC and downtown L.A. The driver maintained a speed of around 65 miles per hour on the freeways and encountered minimal traffic while heading westbound. However, upon reaching Santa Monica, where the 10 Freeway turns northbound through the McClure Tunnel onto Pacific Coast Highway, the suspect suddenly made a U-turn and started driving back into heavier eastbound traffic.
Driving slowly in the opposite direction, the suspect exited the freeway onto Crenshaw Boulevard and made an illegal right turn. In the face of traffic, the suspect then made an illegal U-turn and accelerated northbound, reaching speeds of approximately 80 miles per hour.
Upon reaching Charles Place in the Mid-City area, the suspect encountered a standstill traffic situation and attempted to maneuver through. However, a pickup truck gradually advanced and blocked the suspect’s path. With no escape route, the suspect surrendered and was instructed to exit through the driver’s side window.
The police then commanded the suspect to lie face down on the ground and successfully took him into custody without further issues. The identity and motives of the pickup truck driver remained unclear.
