GIVING THE UNITS ON THE GROUND HEADS UP SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT THIS CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR THEY MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER POSSIBLY TWO OTHER PEOPLE THE ORIGINAL ONE A ROBBERY SITUATION NOT SURE IF THEY WERE UNDERCOVER. THERE WERE PEOPLE WATCH BINDER COVER BUT THE VEHICLE THIS AFTERNOON DRIVING EXTREMELY FAST AND RECKLESS. IT DOES SEEM LIKE THINGS ARE STARTING TO PICK UP ONCE AGAIN AS WE CONTINUE SOUTHBOUND ON LOCKERS SENT TO WHEELAN TO THE GLENDALE AREA NOW. I CONCEIVE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD THAT THE PASSENGER IS MOVING AROUND A LOT. THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL, WASN'T IT? STU YOU SAID THE DRIVER WAS GOING THE WRONG WAY ON THE FREEWAY? REPORT GOING THE WRONG WAY ON THE FREEWAY NEAR PENNSYLVANIA. THE ONE THING ANYONE THAT DRIVES IN THE GLENDALE AREA BEAUTIFUL CITY WITH A LOT OF HISTORY A LOT OF HISTORY OUT THERE, SMALLER ROADS A VERY TIGHT AREA VERY CONGESTED ALMOST ALL THE TIME. YOU CAN SEE THIS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW THE SMALLER STREETS THAT VEHICLE MAYBE NOT BLENDING HIM BUT AT ONE POINT YOU SAW HIM MAKING THESE WIDE TURNS. THERE WE GO WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD ONCE AGAIN PASSING THE CENTERLINE. THEY HAVE MORE OFFICERS IN THE AREA. GLENDALE PD MIGHT NOT JUST TAKE THIS OVER IT. LOOK AT THESE CRAZY MOVES. WE JUST HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR THAT ONE OFFICER, TWO OFFICERS BEHIND LAPD PROBABLY LIGHTS AND SIRENS GIVING HEADS UP AT THE INTERSECTIONS AS HE'S RUNNING -- IT'S RUNNING STALE READ. MEANING THE LIGHT HAS BEEN READ FOR A MOMENT OR TWO BECAUSE OF THEIR TRAFFIC MIGHT BE COMING. WE ARE STILL BASICALLY SOUTHBOUND DIRECTION THE GENERAL AREA WHERE THE PURSUIT STARTED. IT WAS STARTED BY THE 5 MINUTE TOO. THAT'S WHERE WE WERE GETTING WIND OF THIS GOING ON SO IT MADE ITS WAY NORTH ONTO THE TO ATTEND LA CRAZY DRIVING OUT THERE AND NOW IN THE GLENDALE AREA. THERE'S A SHARP TURN RIGHT THERE. LAPD ALSO MAKING THOSE MOVES RIGHT BEHIND THAT VEHICLE. THEY REALLY ARE TRYING TO WARN THE PUBLIC. THEY WANT THIS TO COME TO AN THEM AND POSSIBLY A ROBBERY SUSPECT AND WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE WEAPONS IN THE VEHICLE BUT RIGHT NOW ESTABLISHED IN THE GLENDALE AREA AND LAPD HANDLING THIS PURSUIT. SHARON: WE LOST STU MUNDEL BUT WE WILL GET HIM BACK TO YOU ARE WATCHING A PURSUIT IN THE GLENDALE LA CRESCENTA AREA AND THERE YOU SEE THAT WHITE SUV. POLICE ARE IN HOT PURSUIT OF THAT CAR THAT'S BEEN DRIVING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PLAN TO RADICALLY. SLOW SPEEDS ON THE SURFACE STREETS RIGHT NOW BUT APPARENTLY THERE MIGHT BE THREE SUSPECTS IN THAT CAR WANTED FOR ROBBERY. APPARENTLY THE STARTED ON THE 5 AND THE TWO STU WAS TELLING US AND THE DRIVER WAS GOING THE WRONG WAY ON THE 210 AT TIMES. WE HAVE SEEN HIM DO A RADACK MOVES ON STREETS IN GLENDALE SOMETIMES IT LOOK LIKE A PERSON WALKING ON THE STREET IN A PASS BY REALLY FAST WITH SHARP TURNS AND APPARENTLY WANTED FOR SOME SORT OF ROBBERY. HE INTERESTING TO KNOW THIS WAS A ROBBERY. STU DO YOU KNOW THIS WAS A ROBBERY AT A HOME OR BUSINESS OR DO WE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE ROBBERY? THEY DON'T GIVE THOSE SPECIFICS WHEN THEY ARE CALLING THESE THINGS OUT. THEY WERE JUST GIVING OUT CODES AND THE CODE IS ROBBERY BUT IT DOESN'T SAY IF IT'S A RESIDENTIAL ROBBERY OR MAYBE A STORE. THEY DON'T SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT. WE ARE SOUTHBOUND FROM COLORADO PICKING UP A LITTLE BIT OF SPEED IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. BACK ON THE WRONG SIDE THE ROAD TO AVOID ANOTHER CAR BASICALLY DRIVING COMING UP TO ANOTHER STOP SIGN AND RIGHT THEY ARE JUST PASSING CHEVY CHASE OR COMING UP TO CHEVY CHASE MAKING THE TURN ON CHEVY CHASE. WE ARE BASICALLY WORKING OUR WAY BACK INTO THE LAPD AREA BUT TAKING A ROUNDABOUT WAY. DON'T THINK HE'S CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT TOWN HE'S IN RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW MOVING VERY QUICKLY AT SOME POINTS BUT APPARENTLY FROM WHAT WE ARE HEARING ACCORDING TO LAPD MORE SUBDUED THAN HE WAS EARLIER ON. ANOTHER LEFT-HAND TURN. GOING INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA OUT HERE. STAYING IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. I COULDN'T BEGIN TO GUESS. SLOWING A LITTLE BETTER THAN SOME FOLKS ON THE ROAD VERY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD JUST CONTINUING TO WATCH THIS VERY DANGEROUS CHASE. LAPD BEHIND HIM ON THE GROUND AND STILL MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA. SKY 9 DOING A LITTLE PERAK WHETS OUT HERE THIS AFTERNOON BACK ON CHEVY WAY BECAME. NOW WE ARE WESTBOUND ON CHEVY CHASE. CRYSTAL: HOW FAST YOU THINK HE'S GOING ON THESE RESIDENTIAL STREETS? I WOULDN'T DOUBT 40 OR 45 ON THE RESIDENTIAL NOW. THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD, HIGHER-SPEED TUNIC AND SEE HIM BACK AND FORTH. SO CLOSE AND THIS WAS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER ON THESE HIGHER SPEEDS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION INDEED. IT LOOKS LIKE AN LAPD OFFICER BACK TO SOUTHBOUND ON BRAND I BELIEVE WE ARE ON SOUTHBOUND BRAND FROM CHEVY CHASE. THIS IS GLENDALE. THEY DO KNOW, I'M SORRY THE STREET IS GLENDALE AND THIS IS THE CITY OF GLENDALE. LAPD IN PURSUIT. YOU SAW IT THAT MOMENTARY BURST RIGHT THERE. APPARENTLY THAT WAS GOING ON FOR A LOT LONGER JUST BEFORE WE GOT HERE. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE THE VEHICLE GOING VERY FAST. VERY NARROW STREETS. THIS IS A VERY RESIDENTIAL AREA AND I'M GLENDALE SOUTHBOUND FROM CHEVY CHASE MOVING PRETTY QUICKLY. WE WILL GET YOU ANOTHER MAJOR ASCENDANCE WE PASS IT. HOPEFULLY THE SENSE PEACEFULLY. RIGHT NOW POSSIBLY THREE PEOPLE INSIDE OF THAT VEHICLE. WE JUST WANT THIS TO COME TO AN END. THEY JUST HAD ROBBERY. WE HAVEN'T HEARD THE ARMED PART YET. SOUTHBOUND SAN FERNANDO SO WE ARE STARTING TO GET BACK INTO THE LAPD AREA. IT DOESN'T MEAN MORE UNITS WILL GET INVOLVED BUT IT MIGHT HAVE OTHER OFFICERS IN THE AREA FROM THE LAPD IF THIS COMES TO AN END SQUEEZING THROUGH THE AIR. SHARON: HE'S TRYING TO GET AWAY NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. HE'S PICKING UP A LOT OF SPEED. STU: THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. YOU CAN SEE THE MOVING RIGHT BY HIM AS WE ARE TRACKING THAT VEHICLE CENTER LANE SAN FERNANDO ROAD GOING AGAINST TRAFFIC RIGHT THERE. ONTO THE SIDEWALK, ONTO THE SIDEWALK. THANK GOODNESS THERE WAS NOBODY THERE. IT'S THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR. THEY WANT THIS TO COME TO AN END. THEY WANT THIS VEHICLE TO STOP. ARE THEY CLOSE TO LAPD AT THIS POINT? STU: RIGHT NOW LIGHTS AND SIRENS. THAT'S A VALUABLE THING. IT'S GIVING A LOT OF HEADS UP. WE MET THIS GUY IS DRIVING SO ERRATICALLY. HOW DO YOU STOP SOMEONE LIKE THIS? I GUESS YOU JUST CASE THEM UNTIL THEY SLOW DOWN. STU: YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION. EVERYBODY IS EYES ASKING IT. YOU CAN'T DO IT, YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T USE THE P.I.T. MANEUVER POSSIBLY SPIKE STRIPS BUT HOW DO YOU GET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE MOVING THIS QUICKLY? RIGHT NOW TRAFFIC INITIATED EARLIER ON. COMING BACK ONTO THE 5 SOUTH IS WHAT I'M HEARING FROM MY PILOT BUT LAPD TALKING ABOUT THE TWO FREEWAY. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON IT RIGHT NOW BUT THIS VEHICLE MOVING VERY QUICKLY AND A LITTLE PUSHY WHEN THERE'S TRAFFIC. IT'S JUST NOT GOOD. THERE IS UP, RIGHT THERE. ESTABLISH ONTO THE SOUTHBOUND 5. I THINK THE STADIUM IS COMING UP AS WELL. THIS IS THE GENERAL AREA WHERE IT STARTED. LOOK AT THAT. SO CLOSE TO THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS SHARON TAY ALONG WITH CRYSTAL CRUZ AND WELCOME TO THE "KCAL 9 NEWS" -- THIS IS SHARON TAY ALONG WITH CRYSTAL CRUZ. WELCOME TO THE NEWS AT 4 WATCHING BREAKING NEWS HAPPENING IN GLENDALE. A PURSUIT THAT'S IN PROGRESS AND FOR "CBS 2 NEWS" VIEWERS ARE WELCOME YOU AS WELL. WE ARE FOLLOWING THIS PURSUIT THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS PURSUIT WITH ROBBERY SUSPECT. CRYSTAL: STU MUNDEL IS OVERHEAD WATCHING. YOU WERE TELLING US THIS GUY WAS DRIVING SO ERRATICALLY AND WE HAVE SEEN THEM ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AT TIMES ON THE TENTH -- 210 FREEWAY YOU SAID. DRIVING AGAINST TRAFFIC ON THE 210 AND HE MADE A U-TURN ON THE 210 OVER BY PENNSYLVANIA. RIGHT NOW WHERE BASICALLY AT ELYSIAN PARK. YOU CAN SEE THE STADIUM AND I BELIEVE WE ARE ON GLENDALE BOULEVARD AND JUST GOT OFF THE SOUTHBOUND 5 FREEWAY. THIS ROAD RIGHT NOW IS WIDE OPEN THERE A LOT OF ROADS OUT HERE IN THE AREA THAT ARE WIDE OPEN. HE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE HIGH SPEEDS BUT HE ISN'T GOING TO GET ANYWHERE. YOU HAVE A HELICOPTER OVERHEAD AND OFFICERS ON THE GROUND. BACK IN THE LAPD AREA SO OTHER OFFICERS ARE GOING TO BE UP THERE AVAILABLE WILL BE NEARBY. THEY WILL MAKE THEMSELVES CONVENIENTLY AVAILABLE IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN. THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AS HE'S MAKING A SWEEPING TURN. SHARON: IS IN THE LAPD POLICE ACADEMY NEARBY? IT IS CLOSE BY. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL GO BUY IT AT DEFINITELY CLOSE TO DODGER DODGER STADIUM AND THAT MEANS WE ARE CLOSE TO THE LAPD AS WELL. SHARON: THEY ARE WIDE OPEN BECAUSE HARDLY ANYONE TRAVELS THOSE ROADS. STU: WE ARE ON ACADEMY WAY AND IF YOU GO TO THE PARKING LOT IN L.A. IT'S VERY CLOSE TO DODGER STADIUM. I WAS WONDERING IF HE WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH THERE. RIGHT NOW ♪STAYING ON THE MAIN MEAN STREETS AND YOU CAN SEE NO OTHER VEHICLES. PERHAPS THEY WILL TRY TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS WIDE-OPEN AREA. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO DO A P.I.T. MANEUVER IF THEY GET CLOSE TO HIM. STU: AND THERE IS NOBODY ELSE AROUND. YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR. RIGHT NOW IT'S A BIG SWEEPING TURN IT BRINGS US BACK OUT ONTO SUNSET IF YOU ARE DRIVING THIS WAY. IT'S STARTING TO GET CROWDED AND WIDER AS YOU SEE OTHER OFFICERS IN THE AREA AND MAKING NAT THAT TURN RIGHT THEY ARE. ELYSIAN PARK IS WHERE WE ARE NOW AGAIN APPROACHING THE 110 FREEWAY. DID YOU SAY SUNSET BOULEVARD? IS THAT THE STREET HE IS ON? IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE HEADING TOWARDS BROADWAY OR FIGUEROA. CRYSTAL: HAVE WE SEEN ANY PASSENGERS? STU: I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO PEEK INSIDE THE WINDOWS. SOMETIMES THEY ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW IN ROW STUFF OUT OF THE CAR FOR WHATEVER REASON BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THAT. THE WINDOWS ARE TINTED VERY DARK THAT WAS VERY CLOSE. IT LOOKS FROM THE WINDCHILL THAT THEY ARE MOVING AROUND IN THE CAR LOT. I ALWAYS WONDER WHAT THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE. ARE THEY SAYING HEY MAYBE WE SHOULD SLOW THIS DOWN. YOU WOULD BE HOPING THAT'S WHAT WAS GOING ON. RIGHT NOW THE TINTED WINDOWS OFFICERS CAN'T SEE IN THERE AND WE CAN'T STAND THERE. THE REPORT WAS POSSIBLY THREE PEOPLE WERE INSIDE THE VEHICLES OF TWO PASSENGERS MAY BE. THE DRIVER, SO WE ARE SOUTHBOUND BROADWAY RIGHT NOW. MAKING OUR WAY OUT OF THE ELYSIAN PARK AREA STARTING TO MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE CHINATOWN AREA. A LOT OF CROSS TRAFFIC AND IT'S STARTING TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE PRACTICE WE WORK TOWARDS DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES. RIGHT NOW THE VEHICLES ARE RELATIVELY SLOWER. LAPD BEHIND THEM DANGEROUS SUSPECTS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. LAPD WERE IN SURVEILLANCE MODE FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME BUT HIGH SPEEDS AND DANGEROUS MOVES. THEY DECIDED TO KEEP THE OFFICERS IS CLOSE BY AS THEY CAN WITH THE LIGHTS AND SIRENS GOING. CRYSTAL: THIS IS WHERE THE 110 AND THE 101 MEET. THEY ARE IN CHINATOWN NOW. THEY ARE ABORTING THEIR FREEWAY ALTOGETHER. SHARON: THAT AREA IS SO CONGESTED. CRYSTAL: STU: YOU ARE EXPERIENCED. WHEN THEY ARE IN A CONGESTED AREA DID THEY STAY CLOSE TO THE PERSON TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THEM OR GIVE THEM A LITTLE SPACE? STU: I'M NOT VERSED IN THE LAPD POLICIES AT ALL. THE OFFICERS THAT ARE BEHIND THEM IN THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS PURSUIT ARE DOING A FABULOUS JOB STAYING SAFE IN STAYING THE VEHICLE NEARBY OR CLOSE BY WHERE THEY CAN KEEP AN EYE ON ON IT USING THAT CENTER LANE CESAR CHAVEZ NEAR MEN'S CENTRAL JAIL. I HAVE A FEELING HE'S GOING TO BE SPENDING TIME THERE SHORTLY. RIGHT NOW HE'S MAKING HIS WAY BACK TOWARDS THEIR FREEWAY. IT LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO MAKE A TURN AND THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM INTO UNION STATION. MAYBE HE'S TRYING TO MAKE A PLAN TO GET INTO A PARKING GARAGE. THOSE OFFICERS ARE SO CLOSE BY PUSHING HIM ONTO THE 101 FREEWAY AND NOW WE ARE ON THE 101 NORTHBOUND IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. A LOT OF TRAFFIC KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS THEM OUT THERE. A LITTLE FISHTAILING RIGHT THERE ON THE FREEWAY. HE WAS HITTING THE BRAKES HARD RIGHT THERE. PASSING A LA MAIDA 101 NORTHBOUND LAPD IN A PURSUIT HELICOPTER OVERHEAD. NOT JUST US BUT LAPD AND LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC THAT'S OUT THERE NOW. IT'S LITERALLY STOP AND GO IN THE AREA. WHAT IS THAT? STU: HE'S GOING OFF ON AN ON RAMP. YOU SAW HIM HE HAD ITS DOORS OPEN. LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE JUST GETTING ON THE FREEWAY GOING WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? BACK ON ALAMEDA IN FRONT OF UNION STATION AGAIN WITH HIGH SPEEDS AND OFFICERS ARE STAYING RIGHT BEHIND HIM. THEY MUST HAVE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PERSON THAT MAKES THIS IF PERSON A WANTED DRIVER. CRYSTAL: THAT WAS AN INTERESTING MOVE. THE TRAFFIC WAS VERY THICK ON THE 101 AND HE DECIDED HE WOULD JUST HOP OFF. IT WAS A DESPERATE MOVE. STU: IT'S JUST AMAZING HOW MANY CHANCES THIS PERSON HAS BEEN TAKING ALL AFTERNOON. THANK GOODNESS WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES. WORKING HIS WAY THROUGH CHINATOWN A LOT OF TRAFFIC AROUND. WE WERE ON COLLEGE A FEW MINUTES AGO. THIS IS BROADWAY THROUGH DOWNTOWN CHINATOWN. THIS IS AN AREA THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS IS PRETTY PACKED. THERE'S A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC A LOT OF PEDESTRIANS. THANK GOODNESS WE ARE NOT SEEING ANYBODY OUT ON THE ROADWAYS. THEY ARE STARTING TO MAKE FASTER MOVES AT HIGHER SPEEDS NORTHBOUND ON BROADWAY BASICALLY GOING BACK IN THE DA'ISH -- DIRECTION WE CAME FROM. SHARON: I THINK ONE THING ON HIS MIND IS JUST TO GET AWAY. HE WILL DO ANYTHING HE CAN TO GET AWAY. MOMENTS AGO HE HOPPED OFF THE 101 BUT WHEN HE HOPPED OFF, HE HOPPED OFF ONTO THE ONRAMP. THAT'S THE TRAFFIC THEY ARE PROBABLY GOING WHAT IN THE HECK IS GOING ON? CRYSTAL: WHERE DOES THIS CHASE ORIGINATE? STU: OH LOOK AT THIS. IN THE AREA OF THE TWO IN THE 5 IS WHERE WE ORIGINALLY HEARD IT. IT'S OVER THERE IN THAT GENERAL AREA. HE GOT ON THE TWO FREEWAY QUICKLY AND THE 210 FOR A MOMENT OR TWO. WE HEARD THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT AT ONE TIME AND WE THOUGHT THE PURSUIT MAY HAVE BEEN OVER. BUT THIS TYPE OF DRIVING ITS AMAZING WE HAVEN'T SEEN SEEN ANOTHER SPIN-OFF. WE SAW FISHTAIL EARLIER ON. WE HAVE SOME STREET NAMES FOR YOU. IT'S A TIGHT RIGHT THERE BUT OBVIOUSLY IT WAS ON BROADWAY AND NOW WE ARE IN THE BOYLE HEIGHTS AREA AND WORKING OUR WAY BASICALLY AN EASTERN DIRECTION. IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GETTING BACK INTO -- IT'S THE SAME TYPE OF NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF RESIDENTIAL AND A LITTLE BIT OF COMMERCIAL. THE STREETS ARE FOUR-LANE SO THAT'S A HUGE PLUS BUT THERE'S NO CENTER LANE. IF THERE IS TRAFFIC AND IT GETS BOXED IN I'M CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO DO. SHARON: WE ARE BRAGGING -- IN CASE YOU ARE JUST JOINING US WE ARE WATCHING BREAKING NEWS. STARTED IN THE GLENDALE AREA BETWEEN -- PERHAPS THEY PICKED UP THE CALL SOMEWHERE AROUND THE TWO FREEWAY IN THE 5 FREEWAY, THIS PURSUIT WENT TO GLENDALE TO DOWNTOWN L.A.. NOW IN -- HEIGHTS. THIS DRIVER AND POSSIBLY THREE PEOPLE IN THE CAR POSSIBLY ROBBERY SUSPECTS THAT THEY'VE BEEN DRIVING ERRATICALLY AND AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS. CRYSTAL: SOME OF THESE MOVES ARE DESPERATE. THEY ARE DEFINITELY TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM THE COPS BUT OFFICERS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB AT STAYING RIGHT BEHIND HIM. SHARON: HE NARROWLY MISSED THAT RED CAR. WE HAVE SEEN THIS GUY DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET MAKING VERY ERRATIC MOODS -- MOVES DRIVING VERY FAST. RIGHT THERE YOU SAW HE MADE CONTACT WITH THAT BUS. SHARON: I'M GETTING INFORMATION AT THE PRIMARY VEHICLE IN PURSUIT IS IN THE NORTHEAST. STU: NORTHEAST HAS BEEN ON IT SINCE THE GET GO. I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY DIVISIONS COULD SOMETIMES THEY GET THE FROWNING FACE FOR MANAGEMENT WHEN I USE JUST THE DIVISION NAMES. LAPD IS THE AREA WHERE IT STARTED. THEY ARE ON SOUTHBOUND MISSION MAKING A SHORT-TERM RIGHT THERE GOING TO CESAR CHAVEZ RIGHT NOW. HE IS NOT STAYING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE. WE ALWAYS KIND OF WONDER. ALMOST RIGHT THERE. HE STAYING ON CESAR CHAVEZ. WE ARE IN THE AREA OF USC MEDICAL. THIS VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ELUDE OFFICERS JUST BY MOVING QUICKLY. THE LOOT MIGHT NOT BE THE WORD. THEY ARE RIGHT THERE BEHIND HIM. SHARON: WE SEEM TO HAVE LOST STU MUNDEL. YOU'RE WATCHING A DANGEROUS PURSUIT HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. YOU SEE THAT WHITE CAR, APPARENTLY THEY ARE IN MAYBE THREE OCCUPANTS INSIDE IN A ROBBERY SUSPECT. LAPD IS IN HOT PURSUIT. THEY ARE MAKING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MOVES GOING AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS. CRYSTAL: APPARENTLY IT STARTED IN THE 5 IN THE TWO. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE. THIS DRIVER SOMETIMES ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S ON THE FREEWAY. IS THAT THE FREEWAY? STU: HE'S BACK ON THE FREEWAY. SHARON: HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HE IS GOING STRESSED DRIVING TO GET AWAY. STU: WE JUST DON'T KNOW. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS A CONVENIENCE. BASICALLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THAT TURN EXITING FOURTH STREET. NOW WE ARE HEADING BACK WESTBOUND TOWARDS DOWNTOWN. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA GET WHICH IS PROBABLY A PLUS BECAUSE IT'S GETTING MORE DENSE WITH THE BUILDINGS. ANOTHER SOLID RED LIGHT. THIS VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SLOW DOWN. IT'S THE ONLY PATTERN IF THERE ARE PATTERNS MOVING FAST, MOVING SLOW. THAT'S THE ONLY THING WE HAVE SEEN. WE ARE BACK INTO ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD AREA VERY COMMERCIAL HERE SHORTLY. LAPD A HIND HIM WITH THE LAPD OVER HIM THE ENTIRE TIME. THE NORTHEAST DIVISION RIGHT THERE BEHIND FROM THE INCEPTION OF THIS PURSUIT. I'M REALLY CURIOUS IF THIS WAS SOME SORT OF UNDERCOVER WHERE THEY WERE WATCHING THIS VEHICLE. THEY ARE SAYING TO 11 SUSPECTS AND THAT MEANS ROBBERY. BUT ARMED, WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S RESIDENTIAL OR IF THERE WAS VIOLENCE INVOLVED. WE DO UNDERSTAND POSSIBLY TWO OTHER FOLKS IN THE VEHICLE. HOW DID LAPD KNOW BACK? THOSE -- HOW DID LAPD KNOW THAT'S? SHARON: THE QUESTION I HAVE IS THEY MAY HAVE STOLEN THE VEHICLE, WHO KNOWS? STU: WHO KNOWS? THIS PERSON DRIVING LIKE YOU STOLE IT. WE ARE STILL WESTBOUND FOURTH STREET AND VERY WIDE-OPEN COMING TO ANOTHER MAJOR. YOU CAN SEE OFFICERS OUT THERE. POSSIBLY SPIKE STRIPS. SHARON: THIS WOULD BE A GOOD AREA BECAUSE IT'S WIDE-OPEN AND VERY LITTLE CRYSTAL: NOW WE ARE PICKING UP SOME SPEED. STU: THEY HAVE AN OFFICER WAITING AT THE CORNER OF ALAMEDA WITH SPIKE STRIPS. IF THEY WERE DEPLOYED I'M UNCLEAR ON THAT RIGHT NOW. WE'LL TAKEN -- KEEP AN EYE ON THE MANEUVERABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. HE'S MAKING UNUSUAL TURNS RIGHT NOW BUT MAKING OUR WAY CLOSER TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA. THEIR STUFF COMING OUT OF THE CAR. A LOT OF STUFF. CRYSTAL: IT LOOKS LIKE PAPERS AND CLOTHING. STU: THAT INDICATES THEIR PEOPLE IN THE BACK PORTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS MIGHT NEED A RESIDENTIAL ROBBERY. RIGHT NOW STUFF IS CONTINUING TO BE THROWN. NOTHING IS FALLING OUT. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO AND PICK UP ALL OF THAT STUFF. IS THAT GOING TO BE THE VEHICLE IN PURSUIT? KNOW, THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER ONE. THIS JUST CONTINUES ON. CRYSTAL: DO WE HAVE A LOT OF LOCATION? STU: SOUTHBOUND LOS ANGELES IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA. RIGHT THERE AT THE CROSS OF SIX THAT IT IS SLOWING DOWN. OFFICERS WILL HAVE TO PICK UP ALL OF THOSE ITEMS OR TRY TO PICK YOU CAN SEE OFFICERS RIGHT THERE BEHIND HIM. THEY DIDN'T SLOW DOWN BUT OTHER OFFICERS WILL COLLECT THOSE ITEMS BEING TOSSED OUT. CRYSTAL: ADVENTURES IN TO SEE HIM SLOW DOWN WHEN THE TRAFFIC IS THAT CONSIDERED HIS BARRELING THROUGH WHICH IS GOOD. NO ACCIDENTS SO FAR BUT HERE HE IS INCHING HIS WAY ALONG. STU: HE'S NOT SLOWING DOWN QUICK ENOUGH I CAN TELL YOU THAT. IF HE MAKES A SHARP TURN SOMEWHERE THAT MIGHT BRING THIS TO AN END. HE'S NEAR SAN PEDRO STREET ABOUT TO CROSS INTO SENATE. HE'S PICKING UP SPEED. SOMETHING ELSE IS IN FRONT OF HIM BUT LAPD RIGHT BEHIND THIS VEHICLE. IT'S NOT GOING TO BRING ANYTHING TO AN END I CAN TELL YOU THAT. HE WILL WIND UP IN CUPS -- COUGHS AND MADE UP GOING TO THE HOSPITAL OR WORST PLAYS APPROACHING CENTRAL AND LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING TO MAKE A TURN MAKING A SHARP TURN ON NORTHBOUND CENTRAL. IT'S BEEN GOING FOR SOME TIME. IN THE AIR AND ON THE GROUND LIGHTS AND SIRENS. SO ACCIDENTS. EVERY INTERSECTION GETTING THAT MUCH CLOSER TO THE PROBLEM. SHARON: OUR PRODUCER SAID THE TIRES LOOK PRETTY INFLATED. DID HE GO OVER THIS SPIKE STRIPS? STU: ALL WE KNOW THE GUY ON THE BIKE IS GETTING OUT OF THE WAY FROM OFFICERS. ON THING WE KNOW IS THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT AT SPIKE STRIPS. I SAW THE VEHICLE AND THE SUV. NOT SURE IF HE HAD TIME. THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT WAS WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO DO IT. ZABARS THE TIRES GO I AGREE WITH THE PRODUCER 100%. WE WILL BE SEEING SOME FLAT TIRES. SHARON: AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN GOING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET. SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION HERE. GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. STU: ANOTHER INTERSECTION OR THAT WAS SAN PEDRO. A LOT OF CROSS TRAFFIC RIGHT THERE. WE HAVE PEDESTRIANS AND LIKE I SAID THE CLOSER WE GET TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA THE MORE WE SEE PEDESTRIANS AND THE MORE WE SEE FOLKS ON BIKES MAY BE SOME DISABLED FOLKS TRYING TO GET THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. APPROACHING LOS ANGELES THE NAME OF THE STREET. A LOT OF CROSS TRAFFIC ON THE SOUTHBOUND TURN ON A ONE-WAY STREET. LAPD STILL FOLLOWING THIS VEHICLE. THERE'S ANOTHER PERSON ON A BICYCLE RIGHT THERE. HE'S MAKING HIS WAY, WAS TURNED WORKING OUR WAY QUICKLY OUT HERE IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE HEADING NORTH A RIGHT TURN ON BROADWAY. SHARON: DO YOU THINK THE GUY IS TRYING TO FIND THE ENTRANCE TO THE FREEWAY? HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO STOP BUT THERE'S NO SIGN OF STOPPING. STU: A LOT OF TRAFFIC AT THAT INTERSECTION. HE IS UNDERNEATH US. CRYSTAL: DO YOU THINK HE'S TRYING TO FIND THE ENTRANCE TO THE FREEWAY? SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS IN THE STREETS ARE A LOT TIGHTER. STU: SUPER TIGHT AND THESE HIGH SPEEDS IS JUST GOING TO GET WORSE. LAPD DOES WANT TO BRING THIS THING TO AN END. THERE ARE PEDESTRIANS. AND WE HAVE GOT SOME BLOCKAGE GOING ON. THERE'S A TRUCK OVER THERE DOING SOME LOADING EASTBOUND 60 IS WHERE WE ARE NOW BASICALLY HEADING BACK THE OTHER DIRECTION. JUST CROSSED BROADWAY AND SIXTH AND NOW WE ARE EASTBOUND. DOES IT. STARTING TO MAKE BLOCKS OUT HERE HOPEFULLY WHERE HE THINKS HE CAN GET OUT. DEFINITELY SLOWING DOWN. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE NOT MOVING QUICKLY AND WE ARE. THE TRAFFIC IS GETTING THICKER. THIS WAS NOT A GOOD CHOICE. SOMEBODY IS ACTUALLY GETTING OUT OF HIS WAY. THERE WE GO. AT LEAST THERE IS LESS TRAFFIC OUT HERE AS HE STARTS TO OPEN UP A LITTLE BIT. WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO OLYMPICS MAKING OUR WAY SOUTHBOUND. WE ARE STILL ON LOS ANGELES MAKING ANOTHER SHARP TURN TO THE EAST. SHARON: HE'S LITERALLY GOING IN CIRCLES AROUND DOWNTOWN L.A.. CRYSTAL: DESPERATION NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO BUT JUST TO DRIVE. STU: THE MORE HE STAYS IN THIS AREA IS JUST GOING TO GET MORE DANGEROUS. I WORRY ABOUT ALL THE FOLKS OUT THERE ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW. SORRY, I THOUGHT -- THAT MOVING SOUTHBOUND ONCE AGAIN. THIS CHASE IS CONTINUING IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES AREA. VERY DANGEROUS SUSPECTS. THE LAPD NOT LETTING THIS GO. WE HAVE SEEN THIS IN THE PAST WERE THEY GOING TO TRACKING MODE AND DROP OFF THE OFFICERS AND THE GROUND UNITS. HE CONTINUES TO WEEP HIS WAY AROUND THESE BUILDINGS NORTHBOUND ON MAIN FROM ME DOWNTOWN AREA BUT I BELIEVE THAT WAS SEVENTH OR EIGHTH STREET A MOMENT AGO NORTHBOUND MAIN. THE STREETS ARE SO PACKED IN THE DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES AREA. LAPD DOING AN AMAZING JOB STAYING WITH THAT VEHICLE. JUST ENOUGH DISTANCE A HARD TURN THEIR. SHARON: I'M SURPRISED HIS CAR DIDN'T FLIP. STU: HE DID MAKE THAT TURN SHARP AND ANOTHER OFFICER LAPD AND BACK SOUTH. THEY HAVE A A LOT OF CONTROLS TO LOOKS LIKE HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE STREET. IF WE ARE NOT IN THE ACTUAL WE ARE CLOSE TO THE FASHION AREA. CRYSTAL: THE FASHION DISTRICT. THIS MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY. SHARON: THERE'S NO PLACE TO GO BUT TO CLIMB OUT AND RUN. STU: THAT MIGHT BE HIS ONLY OPTION. LAPD MIGHT BE TANK -- TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS. THERE ARE A LOT OF CIVILIANS OUT THERE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE STREETS. USING WEAPONS IS GOING TO BE VERY HIS WAY THROUGH. THIS IS ONE OF THE TIMES WHERE THE LIGHTS AND MOVING TO THE RIGHT AND IT MAY CAUSE AN OPENING FOR THAT SUSPECT. IN THE END OF MIGHT BE A GOOD THING. SHARON: IT LOOKS LIKE THE PERSON THAT BACKSEAT HAS THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN AND BASICALLY TRYING TO WAVE THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF HIM AWAY AND ASKING HIM TO MOVE A SIDE SO HE CAN GET THROUGH. NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE JUST SITTING DUCKS. THEY ARE LITERALLY SITTING DUCKS STU: HE'S IN ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS. HE DOESN'T NOW THERE'S AT PURSUIT GOING ON. HE'S JUST HEARING LIGHTS AND SIRENS SO HE'S PROBABLY DOING THE RIGHT THING. HE IS OBEYING THE LAW. CRYSTAL: YOU SEE THESE FOLKS WALKING DOWN THE STREET. STU: IT'S AMAZING NOBODY HAS BEEN HURT. CHRISTIE WE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE OPPORTUNITY RIGHT THERE. STU: I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT. STU: I DON'T WANT TO POKE ANY KIND OF FUN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT IF HE GETS A GOLD STAR BY HIS NAME HE DESERVES IT. THE STREETS ARE STARTING TO OPEN UP A LITTLE BIT OF THIS IS THE AREA WHERE THERE ARE A LOT OF HOMELESS AND PEDESTRIANS. A LOT OF FOLKS -- THERE ARE A LOT MORE FOLKS OUT HERE ON THE SIDEWALK. IF HE HITS A CAR IT'S ONE THING BUT IF HE HITS A PEDESTRIAN THAT'S WORSE. A LOT OF CROSS TRAFFIC. CRYSTAL: STU SAID THIS STARTED ON THE 5 AND STARTED AROUND WHAT WOULD HE SAY STU 3:45? STU: IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THEM. AND IT'S ALL THESE CLOSE CALLS. THOSE MOMENTS WHERE YOU ARE JUST LIKE NO, NO. PEDESTRIANS RUNNING OUT OF THE WAY. IT JUST MAKES THIS, IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS. WE WATCH THEM AND YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN. IT'S JUST COMING SO CLOSE SO OFTEN. SHARON: THERE'S A PEDESTRIAN RIGHT THERE. OH MY GOODNESS. STU: SANTEE AND OLYMPIC GAMES WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW FOR ANYONE'S KEEPING TRACK. HE STAYING IN A CROWDED AREA. GOING THROUGH THE BUSY INTERSECTION OF SOLID LIGHT MAKING HER WAY TOWARDS THE CONVENTION CENTER. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE GOING NORTHBOUND ON THIS IS CONTINUING IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. OFFICERS FROM LAPD ON THE IN THE AIR AND STAYING RIGHT THE VEHICLE. SKY 9 WILL MOVE THOSE BUILDINGS OUT OF THE WAY. CONVENIENTLY FOR US AS HE CONTINUES NORTHBOUND ON BROADWAY YOU JUST HAVE TO STAY ON IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST RANDOM. STICKING THIS TURN IN THAT TURNED AND SOMETIMES IT PUTS HIMSELF IN SPOTS. IT IS LAPD TAKING MEASURES TO BRING THIS TO AN END? OF COURSE THEY ARE BUT HOW DO YOU GET IN FRONT OF AVILA GOAL WORDS JUST MAKING ALL THESE RANDOM TURNS? SHARON: THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION. AND WHAT COULD BE GOING THROUGH THIS GUYS MIND? WHERE DOES HE THINK HE'S GOING TO END UP? STU: JAIL HOPEFULLY. SHARON: JAIL HOPEFULLY THAT'S RIGHT BUT WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING? WHERE COULD HE BE WANTED TO GO? WE KNOW HE IS DESPERATE BECAUSE HE'S DRIVING SO RADICALLY. AT ONE POINT THEY WERE THROWING OUT CLOTHING AND ITEMS. STU: SOMETIMES WE GIVE THESE SUSPECTS MORE CREDIT THAN THEY DESERVE. THEY HAVE A PLAN AND AN IDEA. THIS IS JUST RANDOM MOVES AND RANDOM ACTS. HE'S JUST TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM OFFICERS, THAT'S A PREVIOUS TRYING TO STAY OUT OF JAIL. MAYBE THEY ARE JUST RELISHING THEIR LAST COUPLE OF MINUTES INSIDE OF THAT VEHICLE NODDING CUPS AND HOPEFULLY NOT IN THE HOSPITAL. MORE SO HOPEFULLY NOT INJURING SOMEBODY ON THE STREETS. HE'S COME SO CLOSE TO SO MANY THIS AFTERNOON. THEY ARE PROBABLY A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WILL BE GOING HOME SAYING I SAW THIS PERSON JUST CUT ME OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS ARE DRIVING THE WRONG WAY ON THE FREEWAY. NORTHBOUND ON FIGUEROA SO WE ARE GETTING CLOSER BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL BE GOING BACK THE WAY WE CAME. WE ARE HEADING EASTBOUND ONCE AGAIN OFFERS FIGUEROA. NOT SURE WHAT STREET THAT'S GOING TO BE. MAYBE A NUMBERED STREET. THERE HE GOES. THE POLICE HELICOPTER MOMENTARILY LOSES THE VEHICLE. MAKING ANOTHER TURN TO THE SOUTH SO BASICALLY JUST DOING BLOCKS. WILSHIRE, FLOWER FROM WILSHIRE AND JUST A FEW BLOCKS. MAYBE HE SAW SOMETHING. MAYBE HE SAW A PARKING GARAGE. SHARON: STU HOLD THAT THOUGHT PUTTING CASE YOU'RE JUST TURNING IF YOU'RE WATCHING BREAKING NOSE HERE ON "KCAL 9 NEWS" OVERCLOCKING CBS 2 IS WHERE SIMULCASTING A PURSUIT THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO. A DANGEROUS PURSUIT OF HIGH-SPEED PURSUIT IN THE DOWNTOWN L.A. AREA. APPARENTLY THERE MIGHT NEED THREE SUSPECTS IN THE CAR AND NOT WHITE SUV POSSIBLY A ROBBERY SUSPECT. WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE ARMED BUT THEY HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT DANGEROUS SPEEDS AND MAY HAVE BEEN MAKING A RADACK MOVES. THEY ARE DESPERATE TO GET AWAY FROM POLICE. LAPD IS IN HOT PURSUIT CRYSTAL: WE HAVE SEEN HIM PUT DOWN SPIKE STRIPS SO WE ARE NOT SURE IF IT IS WORKING NOW WORKING HIS WAY ONTO SEVENTH STREET SO BASICALLY WORKING BACK INTO THE DOWNTOWN AREA. WILSHIRE GRAND THE SHOT. IT'S GETTING DIFFICULT AS DIFFICULT -- BIGGER BUILDINGS MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT. YOU ARE WATCHING BREAKING NEWS.

THEY'VE BEEN THROWING THINGS OUT OF THE CARS THEY'VE BEEN DRIVING AND THE DRIVER SOMETIMES BARRELING THROUGH THE INTERSECTIONS NOT STOPPING. WE SEEM PEDESTRIANS ON BICYCLES AND IN THEIR WHEELCHAIRS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE DRIVER WAS GOING TO GET DOXED AND IN THE FASHION DISTRICT BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. DRIVERS ARE MOVING OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE POSSIBLY THEY HEARD THOSE SIRENS NOT KNOWING THAT A PURSUIT WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM. NOW WHERE ARE WE NOW STU? I BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO BE FLOWER AND WE JUST PASSED EIGHTH STREET. IT'S DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES IS WHERE WE ARE. ANOTHER HARD TURN MAKING A TURN OFF TO THE EAST. WE WILL GET THE NUMBERS HERE IN JUST A SECOND. SLOWING DOWN A LITTLE BIT BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHY.

NOW HE IS CORRECT KING -- THAT WAS ON GRAND AND NOW WE ARE MAKING OUR WAY BACK ON TE SEVENTH STREET NORTHBOUND ONTO BROADWAY AND THIS PURSUIT CONTINUES IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. SHARON: IT'S HARD TO SAY WHAT THESE GUYS ARE THINKING BUT THEY ARE LEISURELY DRIVING IN CIRCLES AROUND DOWNTOWN. THEY RUN THE FREEWAY FOR A WHILE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE DRIVER THOUGHT THAT WAS A BAD IDEA. STU: NOW HE IS SOUTHBOUND. WHEN HE GETS BEHIND THOSE BUILDINGS AT GETS DIFFICULT TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM. WE HAVE TO RELY ON VISUAL AIDS LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW. JUST A REAL QUICK, EVERY NOW AND THEN WE LOSE OUR SIGNAL AND THAT'S USUALLY BECAUSE OF THE MANEUVERS THAT HELICOPTERS ARE MAKING AND WE LOSE OUR SIGNAL. THAT'S BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE AMAZING JOB KEEPING THE HOLOCAUST ARE SAFE BUT MANEUVERING QUITE AFTERNOON AS WE MAKE THESE TURNS TRYING TO KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS VEHICLE AS IT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE DOWNTOWN AREA. I JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE. NOT SO DIFFICULT FOR ME TO RUN THE CAMERA KEEP AN EYE ON IT BUT BRENDAN HAS TO MOVE THE HELICOPTER AND FOLLOW THIS THING AROUND AND THINK ABOUT WHERE HE'S GOING AND HOW THE BUILDINGS WILL AFFECT US FROM DOING THE JOB. THE NEXT SUSPECTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE THE MANY PROPS AT ALL. THEY CONTINUE TO DRIVE ERRATICALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS WITH DANGEROUS MANEUVERS. LOTS OF PEDESTRIANS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO FAZE THIS PERSON AT ALL. A ROBBERY SUSPECT IS ALL WE KNOW. LAPD IN PURSUIT OF THESE FOLKS SINCE THE INCEPTION. THEY DO KNOW THESE ARE DANGEROUS SUSPECTS OTHERWISE THEY MAY HAVE DONE A DIFFERENT TACTIC OR THEY MAY HAVE GONE INTO A TRACKING MODE OR THEY WOULD HAVE PICKED HIM UP SOMEPLACE ELSE. THERE'S A CAR COMING RIGHT AT THEM DOWN THERE. RIGHT NOW IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MANEUVERS PACKED STREETS GOING THE WRONG WAY. WE CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY TIMES CAN NORTHBOUND ROADWAY PASSING 66 STREET HEADING TOWARDS TOWARDS THE COURTHOUSE BUT RIGHT NOW THE STREETS ARE PACKED. CRYSTAL: YOU SAY THE STREETS ARE PACKED BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING READY TO GET OUT OF WORK. YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE A LOT MORE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC IN THE NEXT 20 MINUTES. SHARON: WHEN THE COURTS LET OUT OR IF YOU WALK OR TAKE A BUS TO WORK OR NOT. AT WHAT POINT DOES THE DRIVER SAY THIS IS GETTING TIRESOME CIRCLE, CIRCLE, WRONG WAY OFFICERS ON HIS BACK. EASIER SAID THAN DONE. STU: THE DRIVER'S WINDOW IS DOWN JUST FOR A SECOND. HE HAD IT DOWN FOR A MOMENT AND WENT RIGHT BACK UP. SOUTH LOS ANGELES DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES AREA PEDESTRIANS WALKING ACROSS THE STREETS. AND THEY ARE SEEING THIS CARB BARRELING DOWN WITH LIGHTS AND SIRENS. THEY NEED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. RIGHT NOW THE SUSPECT CONTINUES TO KEEP OFFICERS AT DAY. LOOKS LIKE WE ARE MAKING ANOTHER TURN WESTBOUND SEVENTH SO HEADING BACK INTO THAT THICK DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES AREA SQUEAKY -- SQUEEZING HIS WAY THROUGH TRYING TO GET ON THE MAJOR STREETS AND CONTINUING PAST MAIN AND NOW ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC. KEEPING AN EYE ON WHICH WAY HE TURNED SO CONTINUING ON. THERE HE IS AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING AND GOING AND GOING. CRYSTAL: DOWNTOWN HAS TO BE ONE OF THE WORST PLACES TO PULL A MANEUVER. THE TRAFFIC AND THE PEOPLE IT'S JUST DANGEROUS. STU: AS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE SEEN HIM TRY TO HIT A VEHICLE. THE ALARM WENT OFF ON THE VAN. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE SEEN HIM MAKE CONTACT WITH THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY I WAS SAYING HOW BRENDAN HAS BEEN WORKING SO HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THIS. THE DRIVER MAY HAVE STARTED AS WELL AND THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED OTHER PROBLEMS. HE MIGHT BECOME LESS ALERT AND LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC CONTINUING NORTHBOUND ON MAINE FROM SIXTH. WE SAW A LOT OF TRAFFIC. IF HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT STREET HE WOULD HAVE PUT HIMSELF ON THAT SPOT. WE SEE OFFICERS WITH SPIKE STRIPS. I'M NOT SURE IF THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL BUT THEY HAVE SOME READY. THEY TOSSED HIM OUT. WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY -- CRYSTAL: THERE SOME OFFICERS RIGHT THERE. THEY TRIED. STU: THEY ARE MAKING EVERY EFFORT. THE DOWNTOWN AREA THAT BLOCKS ARE SMALLER SO GIVES THE OFFICERS MORE OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO RANDOMLY GET AHEAD OF THE VEHICLE. I'M NOT SURE IF ANY OF THE SPIKE STRIPS MADE CONTACT BUT WE SEE HIM SPEEDING UP. THEY ARE MAKING AN EFFORT TO BRING THIS TO AN END. HIGHER SPEEDS. IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT BLENDING IN. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE, I'M NOT SURE, FIRST STREET. AND SPEEDING UP AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IF HE HAS LOWER TIRES I'M JUST HOPING THIS DOES NOT END IN A TRAGEDY. SHARON: WHERE DOES THAT TAKE US IN THE DIRECTION HE IS GOING? STU: RIGHT NOW WE JUST PASS SAN PEDRO STREET. ALBEDO IS A MAJOR BUT GOING TOWARDS THE BOYLE HEIGHTS AREA. THIS DRIVER SEEMS A LITTLE AJIT DATED. HE DID NOT LIKE THOSE SPIKE STRIPS BEING TOSSED IN FRONT OF HIM. A VERY HARD TURN AND A LOT OF TRAFFIC. KIND OF JAMMED IN HERE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS THOUGHTS ARE RIGHT HERE BUT GOING AGAINST TRAFFIC NORTH DOWN TO THE SOUTHBOUND LANES ON ALAMEDA. ALL STREETS ARE VERY BUSY AND VERY MUCH ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD MAKING A LEFT TURN ON TEMPLE. OH MY GOODNESS THIS THING JUST KEEPS GOING AND GOING. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF THE STREETS NOW HAVE A LOT TRAFFIC STOPPING AT THE LIGHTS. A LOT OF CROSS TRAFFIC TRYING TO BLEND IN SWERVING A LITTLE BIT. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE VEHICLE SWERVING. BACK ON LOS ANGELES STREET PASS THE 110 FREEWAY SO BASICALLY HEADING BACK -- GETTING ONTO THE FREEWAY. CRYSTAL: WHICH FREEWAY ARE WE GETTING ON? STU: I THINK THIS IS THE 110. THE 101, THE 101 FREEWAY. SHARON: THERE A LOT OF INTERCHANGES IN THE AREA. STU: IT'S GOING TO GET VERY CONGESTED AND EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO GET WHERE THEY WANT TO GO. IT DOES GET A LITTLE BIT PUSHY IN THIS AREA, POLITELY PUSHY. WE ARE ALL L.A. FOLKS BUT THIS VEHICLE HE IS MORE THAN AGGRESSIVE. AND REALLY PICKING UP SPEEDS. IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN A CORE POINT. IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING OVER THE CURBS RIGHT THERE. HE'S HITTING THOSE CURBS AND THAT MIGHT CAUSE TIRE ISSUES. HOPEFULLY HE WILL GET SOME FLAT TIRES AND THAT WILL BRING THIS TO AN END. RIGHT NOW THE 101 FREEWAY AND THE DIRECTION HE IS HEADING RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT SO BAD. WE MAKE IT TO HOLLYWOOD AND IT'S GOING TO BE STOPPING GO. HE HAS UNUSUAL OPTIONS. LOOKS LIKE HE'S DOING A LOT OF MANEUVERING. I'M GUESSING HE GOT OFF AT ECHO PARK. RIGHT NOW THE 101 NORTHBOUND HEADING INTO THE HOLLYWOOD AREA. HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY. CRYSTAL: ARE THE OFFICERS CLOSE BY? STU: THEY ARE. A LOT OF HIGH SPEEDS AND FISHTAILING. THERE HE GOES ONTO BELLEVUE. THE OFFICER WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING DOING SUCH AN AWESOME JOB AND RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE GETTING ANOTHER UNIT THAT HAS THE LIGHTS ON TOP OF THE VEHICLE AS WE GET BEHIND THIS THING ONCE AGAIN. YOU SEE THE RED LIGHT. THERE'S A LOT OF DISTANCE BETWEEN HIM AND THE OFFICERS WHICH IS SO GOOD BECAUSE NOW THE FOLKS ON THE GROUND WILL DON'T HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE LIGHTS AND SIRENS IN THE SIRENS COMING AND BEING ALERTED. MAKING SOME REALLY HARD TURNS HERE. YOU CAN SEE USING EVERY OUT AVAILABLE TO HIM. RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BUS. IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE NORTHBOUND IN ECHO PARK. , WOMACK. SHARON: YES CRASHED INTO OF BUSINESS STU: HE IS OPENING THE DOOR RIGHT NOW. DON'T TRY THAT. DON'T TRY THAT. SHARON: THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THEM RUNNING AFTER HIM. STU: E. STILL TRYING TO OUR ONLY OFFICERS. THAT'S THE END OF IT RIGHT THERE. SHARON: THEY GOT ONE. STU: THEY GOT ONE. THAT WAS THE DRIVER AND THAT WAS THE ONE THEY REALLY WANTED. SUNSET AT ECHO PARK. IT WAS THE GHOST P.I.T. MANEUVER. THEY LOST CONTROL. CRASH INTO A BUS STOP AND THANK GOODNESS NOBODY WAS THERE BUT OFFICERS RIGHT THERE CLEARING THE VEHICLE. THE OTHER FOLKS -- TRYING TO LISTEN IN TO SEE IF WE CAN HEAR WHERE THE OTHERS RAN TO CRIBBEN MAIN SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY BUT WHETHER CRAZY INTO THAT PURSUIT. HE DID HIT ANOTHER CAR AND CRASHED INTO THAT BUS. SHARON: AT THE BURGUNDY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. STU: OFFICERS MAY BE SETTING UP A PERIMETER. SHARON: THERE A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES IN THE AREA THAT THESE GUYS COULD GO INTO. YOU'RE RIGHT STU THEY ARE GOING TO CONDUCT A SEARCH. CRYSTAL: MAYBE THERE'S A THIRD THAT RAN AWAY AS WELL. MAYBE WE JUST DIDN'T SEE A THIRD. LOOKS LIKE THE SUV CRASHED IN THE DOOR MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIT. WHO KNOWS. BUT WE CALL THAT A GHOST P.I.T. MANEUVER RIGHT STU? STU: IT WAS NOT A P.I.T. MANEUVER. AT FIRST HE SWERVED AND LOSS CONTROL ON HIS OWN BUT HE DID MAKE CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT'S MY SHOT AT A SECOND SUSPECT IN CUSTODY BUT NOW WE ARE HEARING THERE WERE ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE. OFFICERS ON THE GROUND CALLING A CODE FOR BUT THIS IS A FLUID SITUATION. THEY HAVE TWO SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY. THE DRIVER YOU SAW BEING TACKLED AND TAKEN INTO CUSTODY FARTHER SOUTH SO2 IN CUSTODY. OFFICERS ON THE GROUND WORKING THIS OUT BUT THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE IN THE VEHICLE IN CUSTODY COMING TO A CRASHING END. THANK GOODNESS NOBODY IN THE GROUND HURT ON THE CORNER AT ECHO PARK AND SUNSET. THE VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER CAR AND MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL AND HIT ANOTHER CAR. THAT WILL ALL COME OUT IN THE WASH. THANK GOODNESS NOBODY WAS AT THE BUS STOP. THEY ARE WRAPPING THIS UP. SHARON: WHAT A SERIES OF EVENTS. IT'S ONE OF THE MORE INTENSE PURSUITS WE HAVE COVERED INDEED. IF YOU ARE WATCHING WATCHING THE END OF THE PURSUIT. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS ONE. IT STARTED POSSIBLY AROUND 3:45, MAYBE AN HOUR AGO. CRYSTAL: CRYSTAL: IN THE GLENDALE AREA OF THE 5 IN THE TWO. SHARON: THAT WHITE CAR WITH TWO PEOPLE INSIDE, ROBBERY SUSPECTS. ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SOUTHLAND THAT MAYBE ALL THE WAY DOWNTOWN GLENDALE ELYSIAN PARK AND THE CORNER OF SUNSET AND ECHO PARK. CRYSTAL: INSANE AND THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS HURT TO GET THIS DRIVER WAS DRIVING SO DANGEROUSLY SIDESWIPING A CAR THAT LOOKED LIKE A BUS AT ONE POINT. AND A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. STU: IT SHOWS YOU THOSE LOCKING DOORS. SOMETIMES MY FRIENDS MAKE JOKES ABOUT IT IF THE DOORS LOCKED AND YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT'S A GOOD THING. PROBABLY HELPED THAT DRIVER RIGHT THERE. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE SAYING TO PEOPLE IN CUSTODY. THEY ARE CLOSING DOWN AT LEAST ECHO PARK, THE STREET ECHO PARK AT SUNSET WITH ALL THE POLICE THAT A WITTY. IT'S GOING TO REOPEN. TWO IN CUSTODY AND ONE OUTSTANDING. SHARON: THREE OUT OF FOUR RIGHT STU? STU: AND THEY RECOVERED ONE GUY. THEY DID RECOVER A WEAPON. THEY DID RECOVER A WEAPON. IT SHOWS YOU THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY A VERY DANGEROUS SUSPECT AND THEY HAVE TO STAY WITH IT. THEY HAD TO FOLLOW THOSE TWO AND THAT AND STAY IN PURSUIT. AN ARMED SUSPECT AND LAPD KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON THAN WE DO. THEY HAD THEIR REASONS AND THANK GOODNESS NOBODY WAS REALLY HEARD THIS AFTERNOON. ARMED SUSPECT ON THE STREETS AND THANK GOODNESS NOBODY WAS HURT IN THIS CRASH. SHARON: IT WILL BE INTERESTING IF WE FIND OUT WHAT THEY WERE THROWING OUT OF THE CAR. THEY COULD HAVE BEEN ITEMS THEY HAD STOLEN IF THEY WERE ROBBERY SUSPECTS. CRYSTAL: THE DRIVER ACROSS AND HOPE BUS STOP AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS SITTING AT THE BUS STOP. SHARON: I WONDER WHAT THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR ARE DOING IN THE BURGUNDY CAR. STU: IF THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE MINOR DAMAGE. DID YOU SEE THAT DRIVER? I DON'T KNOW HOW HE PULLED THAT OFF. HE JUMPED OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AFTER THE IT WAS THE MOST BIZARRE THING I'VE SEEN FOR A LONG TIME. HOW DO YOU MANEUVER YOUR WAY OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW LIKE THAT? HE CHOSE TO JUMP OUT. IT DOES APPEAR HE REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE AND NOW WE CAN SEE MORE DAMAGE. THEY ARE PROBABLY GOING TO CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANY SERIOUS INJURIES OUT HERE. CRYSTAL: STU AT THIS POINT TO OFFICERS TALK TO ALL OF THE WITNESSES? WHAT DO THEY NORMALLY DO IN YOUR EXPERIENCE AT THIS POINT? STU: EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID. THEY WILL TALK TO THE FOLKS AND OF COURSE THE PEOPLE INSIDE THE BURGUNDY VEHICLE WILL CALL AN AMBULANCE JUST TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE OKAY. POSSIBLY THEY WILL BE CHECKED OUT. THEY ARE PROBABLY JUST GOING TO TALK TO HER AND GET HER STATEMENT ENTERED NAME. THEY MIGHT NEED OR LATER ON. THAT PERSON DID TRY THAT DOOR AT ONE WEAPON WAS RECOVERED. THEY ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO TALK TO HER AND GET HER PERMISSION. SOME CRIME TAPE GOING UP. SUNSET DOES GET BUSY AND ECHO PARK BOULEVARD NOT A MAJOR THRUWAY. IT PROBABLY WON'T BE A TRAFFIC ISSUE BUT THIS WILL BE A CRIME SCENE. TWO IN CUSTODY IS ALL WE KNOW. THEY ARE CALLING THIS OVER SO THEY MIGHT NOT BE LOOKING FOR THIRD PERSON. I JUST WONDER FOR MY OWN PEACE OF MIND WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A THIRD PERSON. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S ANOTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR POPPED OPEN AND IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WHAT CAUSED ALL OF THIS. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR TORE APART. SOMEBODY TRYING TO GET OUT. LOSING CONTROL AND THANK GOODNESS THERE WAS NOBODY ON THE SIDEWALK. SHARON: WE HAVE VIDEO FROM EARLIER. IT POINTS TO CUT VERY STICKY FOR THIS DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. AT ONE POINT THEY ALMOST AT THE RED CAR THEY ARE DRIVING ON THE SIDEWALK DRIVING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. STARTED ABOUT 3:45 IN THE GLENDALE AREA ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ECHO PARK. AT ONE POINT YOU SEE RIGHT HERE POSSIBLY LOOK LIKE THEY WERE CRASHING INTO THE BUS. THEY DID NOT. SHARON: LOOK AT THAT FANCY FOOTWORK IS INCREDIBLE GOING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED NARROWLY MISSING PEDESTRIANS. STU: A PREGNANT WOMAN IN THE BURGUNDY VEHICLE. SHARON: IT WAS A PREGNANT WOMAN IN THE BURGUNDY VEHICLE. DO WE KNOW HOW SHE IS DOING? STU: I'M HOPING SHE'S OKAY AND I'M SURE WE AMBULANCE SOON. THERE IS A FIRE STATION RIGHT THERE. SOME OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS FROM L.A. CITY FIRE. THE FIRST PERSON THEY ARE GOING TO TALK TO IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THAT PREGNANT WOMAN. JUST A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. THE DOOR WAS LOCKED AND IF THAT DOOR WAS NOT LOCKED IT COULD HAVE REALLY CHANGE THINGS. IT'S A VERY FLUID SITUATION. WE ARE TRYING TO SORT THIS ALL OUT. WE DO SEE THE VEHICLE APPARENTLY SOMEBODY TRYING TO GET OUT FOR SOMEONE TRYING TO GET IN. THE DOOR WAS DEFINITELY OPEN WHEN THAT CONTACT HAPPENED AND THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT THIS THING TO AN END ON ECHO PARK BOULEVARD NEAR SUNSET. YOU CAN SEE A CAR GOING INTO THE BUS STOP. NOBODY WAS ON THE SIDEWALK. WE BELIEVE THAT WAS FROM THE BURGUNDY VEHICLE. SHE'S VERY SHOOK UP AND YOU CAN TELL BY THE WAY SHE'S MOVING AROUND. SHARON: SHE SEEMS TO BE OKAY. I'M SURE SHE IS REALLY SHAKEN UP FROM THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. IN CASE YOU ARE JUST JOINING US YOU ARE WATCHING THE END OF A PURSUIT THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT AN HOUR NOW. A VERY DANGEROUS PURSUIT, TWO ROBBERY SUSPECTS. ONE OF THEM RUNNING OUT OF THEIR CAR AFTER CRASHING INTO A BUS STOP IN ECHO PARK AREA NEAR THE SUNSET BOULEVARD AREA. A NUMBER OF POLICE OFFICERS IN PURSUIT OF THAT ONE PERSON BELIEVED TO BE THE DRIVER. THESE GUYS GOSH THEY HAVE DRIVEN ALL OVER DOWNTOWN L.A. RISKING MANY LIVES. CRYSTAL: EARLIER WE SAW FIVE OFFICERS TAKING DOWN THE DRIVERS OF PASSENGER RAN THE OTHER WAY. MUCH EARLIER IF IT LIKE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE TOSSING THINGS OUT POSSIBLY CLOTHING, PAPERS. IT LOOKED LIKE A CELL PHONE. HERE YOU SEE THEM DRIVING THROUGH THE STREETS OF L.A. FAST, ERRATIC, ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. SHARON: BARELY MISSING CARS AND PEDESTRIANS. THEY SLOW DOWN RIGHT THERE AND KEPT ON GOING BUT TAKING OFFICERS ON A RIDE THROUGH DOWNTOWN L.A.. SHARON: THEY WERE NOT GOING TO STOP. THEY WERE DOING EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO GET AWAY.
