LOS ANGELES, CA – Authorities are searching for at least two suspects who fled on foot after a 30-minute police pursuit ended in South Los Angeles over the weekend, according to officials with the Los Angeles Police Department.
The chase unfolded Sunday, March 10, when LAPD officers initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle believed to be stolen. The driver failed to comply, leading officers—along with California Highway Patrol units—on a pursuit through several Los Angeles neighborhoods, including downtown and Hollywood.
Video from the scene showed the suspects weaving through city streets before abandoning the vehicle in South Los Angeles. Multiple individuals were seen exiting the car and fleeing in various directions.
One suspect was taken into custody shortly after the vehicle was abandoned, according to law enforcement. However, at least two others who exited the same vehicle remain at large.
Officers conducted a perimeter search in the area but were unable to locate the outstanding suspects. Details regarding the make and model of the vehicle, or where it may have been reported stolen from, were not immediately provided.
Descriptions of the suspects still being sought were not released as of Monday evening.
The investigation is ongoing. Authorities have not stated whether the suspects are linked to other criminal activity, nor have they indicated the reason for the initial attempted stop.
Anyone with information about the incident or the identities of the individuals involved is urged to contact the LAPD or submit anonymous tips through local crime reporting services.
