Carjacking suspect taken into custody after pursuit in Southern California
A driver suspected of carjacking a Toyota pickup truck Monday evening, who then led authorities in a pursuit has been taken into custody.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire Division initiated the pursuit and chased the suspect into eastbound lanes of 10 Freeway through Crenshaw and then to the 110 and 405 Freeways, where officers from the California Highway Patrol took over.
The suspect remained on the 405 at moderate speeds of around 60 miles per hour when authorities successfully deployed a spike strip, taking out the passenger tires near Springdale Street.
The suspect eventually came to a stop in Huntington Beach, near Beach Boulevard, where he was not initially complying with officers’ commands to exit the vehicle.
Several CHP, using a shield, approached the suspect and took him into custody. The suspect later fought officers as they were attempting to put him into the back of a CHP cruiser.
