Four burglary suspects were arrested after crashing their car during a pursuit and fleeing from officers in Fountain Valley.
The theft crew is accused of burglarizing a home near the 16000 block of Galaxy Drive in Westminster on Thursday when police spotted their vehicle on the street.
Officers tried pulling the suspects over near the 405 Freeway and Beach Boulevard, but they refused to stop and continued speeding away.
While driving on surface streets, the suspects crashed at a busy intersection near Bushard Street and Heil Avenue in Fountain Valley. The collision left multiple vehicles with severe damage.
Cell phone video captured four suspects immediately ditching the totaled car and running away from police on the streets.
One officer sprinted closely behind a fleeing suspect as the man hopped over a brick wall.
The officer who was chasing that suspect also happened to be a former wide receiver for the University of Missouri football team.
“He’s amazing,” said Cameron Knauerhaze, Westminster Police deputy chief. “He stays fit and has quite a reputation of not being the guy to run from.”
The four men were eventually taken into custody on multiple charges including:
- Residential burglary
- Possession of burglary tools
- Conspiracy to commit a crime
- Possession of stolen property
- Felony evading
A handgun and items believed to be stolen from the Westminster home were also recovered during the arrest.
Police said the suspects, who were wearing construction worker vests, were attempting to disguise themselves to fool potential victims.
“We’ve investigated quite a few burglaries where they’re becoming a little bit more brazen and actually trying to blend into the community better because they know that we’re doing undercover operations,” Knauerhaze explained. “They know that the community is aware, so disguising themselves as city workers, construction workers, pizza delivery, DoorDash, any type of ruse they can to get access to somebody’s home and blend into the neighborhood.”
The four male suspects sustained minor injuries during the chase and were transported to local hospitals before they were taken into custody.
Police said the burglary crew may be an international theft group responsible for multiple residential burglaries in the area. Investigators are searching through evidence to locate more possible victims.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Detective David Ramirez at 714-548-3805.

The 2024 winner of the MLB Home Run Derby is a Los Angeles Dodger.
Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández captured the home run crown Monday evening, the first Dodger in the history to win the beloved event.
Hernández hit a total of 49 homers through the competition.
He battled in the final round with Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., edging out his opponent with a final score of 14 to 13.
The Dodgers All Star eliminated Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm in the semifinals, taking the win after a swing-off after both sluggers notched 14 home runs.
Prior to that, Hernández hit 19 dingers in the opening round, advancing to the semifinals and earning the fourth-seed in the elimination tournament.
Pete Alonso of the New York Mets was eliminated in the first round after hitting only 12 homers, putting a hold on his pursuit to join Ken Griffey Jr. as a three-time derby champion.
This was the 31-year-old Dominican’s first appearance in the Home Run Derby. It’s also his first year as a member of the Dodgers.
The field of competitors lacked some of the big names of the National League and American League, including each league’s home run leaders in New York Yankees star Aaron Judge and Hernández’s teammate Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani had previously voiced interest in competing, but ultimately decided to sit this one out to allow himself some extra time to recover from elbow surgery.
Hernández and Ohtani will share the field Tuesday during the MLB All Star Game, alongside fellow Dodgers in first baseman Freddie Freeman and catcher Will Smith.
Shortstop Mookie Betts and starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow, also named 2024 National League All Stars, are not expected to play.
The All Star Game take place Tuesday at 5 p.m. exclusively on Fox.

Prime Day savings: Tips from a shopping pro
![Prime Day savings: Tips from a shopping pro](https://ktla.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/MVIMG_20181010_123825.jpg?w=1280)
It’s that time of year again – Amazon’s Prime Day is back for the 10th time, running July 16th and 17th. As usual, Amazon is promising millions of deals across various categories, essentially creating their own shopping event.
“Because there’s so much activity, you certainly don’t want to be going willy-nilly and buying all sorts of things that you might regret later,” said shopping expert Trae Bodge. She says it’s important to be strategic.
Here are some tips to make the most of Prime Day:
- Make a list or add desired items to your cart in advance. This way, you can easily track price drops.
- Compare deals using sites like Yahoo Shopping and Google Shopping.
- Check an item’s Amazon price history at CamelCamelCamel.com. “That’s a good place to get a sense of what the prices are, what the prices were,” said Bodge.
- Look for deals on Amazon’s own brands, including Amazon Basics, Amazon Essentials, Ring, Kindle, Fire, and more. These often see some of the lowest prices during Prime Day.
- Expect deals on small home appliances. “We will see lots of deals, especially on small home appliances, like your robotic vacuum or your air fryer,” Bodge predicts.
Other things to know:
- Alexa can alert you about deals.
- Invite-only deals are back, where you sign up in advance to be randomly selected for deeply discounted products.
- You need a Prime membership to access the deals, but you can sign up for a 30-day free trial.
Remember, Amazon isn’t the only retailer with a membership program. Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and even CVS all offer annual memberships.
“You shouldn’t have more than one of those retail memberships. Pick the one that serves you the best and stick with that and shop with that retailer regularly to get the best bang for your buck out of that annual membership fee,” concluded Bodge.
One more tip: you can easily spot price drops by looking for special banners near the prices of items. Look for banners that say “Limited Time Deal,” “With Prime,” or “Lightning Deal.” There could also be others.
