SUSPECTS NOT HITCHHIKERS: LA PURSUIT ends after suspects caught in another car

deputy is definitely i mean i you always watch these things and you you kind of you know because we're in the news we kind of know how it goes afterwards when those deputies get back and they have to talk to their bosses hopefully that this guy or gal doesn't get in trouble in my eyes you know this person should be that deputy should be getting a gold star for sticking with this vehicle you know if he's lights and sirens that means at least that the public is some kind of warning that something's going on they'll look in their mirrors they'll see this car moving very very quickly right now though basically back on bigger streets again did not get on the freeway and so you kind of wondered does he know where he is or are they just kind of just driving to drive there you go another tight turn right there making a right turn getting back into what looks like a back into maybe a residential neighborhood yeah that's what we find a lot harrison certainly bob on harrison street but bob go ahead but i was simply going to say that's what we find a lot in these pursuits that the suspects will stay in neighborhoods that they're familiar with because they know how to navigate oh yeah yeah they often do and i and i also think that you know as long as we've been covering these pursuits they really know that there are airships overhead that they're being followed overhead they hear or see the police helicopters so even though they might pull back and you know officers have a really difficult decision to make whether or not to pull back and let them go but here's the situation stu where this driver is driving so dangerously it almost doesn't matter i think this driver would be driving dangerous regardless of whether police decided to pull back or or pursue this vehicle well you know you know bob we just been watching this one you know and uh by by no means am i a psycho psychologist or a psychiatrist i'm just a guy in a helicopter and watching a pursuit right now and you're right though when there was just a helicopter above this person they were driving very very recklessly i there was no doubt about it when they were on the freeways extremely high speeds cutting across all lanes and then we've watched them a lot of the time here on these streets before that black and white god got behind that vehicle so yes definitely the the the you know the law enforcement there law enforcement not there it doesn't seem to make a difference to this driver a lot of times i've said it in the past just basically running from their own demons at this point but it is also very dangerous for anybody that's down there we haven't seen them run a red light yet which is really really good those are the worst whenever we see these suspects running red lights i'm always so afraid that somebody's just going to be driving along and then just get broadsided or have this person appear in front of them that's that's the worst but that being said we've watched them drive on sidewalks drive off the roadways push other vehicles out of the way basically not making contact but just being aggressive and then of course those lane changes and driving on the wrong over and then they just basically left and it was a high speed pursuit so right now in the downy norwalk area still on alondra boulevard just a moment ago crossed over lakewood so main intersection there speeds in the 30s not too bad but we've seen those speeds go well beyond 90 miles per hour on and off freeways many near misses at this point i don't think anybody has been injured which is always uh what we want uh 2006 pontiac is what this was called in at uh stu well you know it's funny because we got that pontiac story as well we got that from our desk you know what i'm just going to call it like i see it you know it could be maybe it's maybe it's one of those uh g6s or g8s but it looks more like a honda to me uh just from the angle so this is going to be one of those ones later on in social media people are probably going to be hitting me up saying she's dude you can't tell the difference between a honda and a pontiac well you know it to me it's just a black car black sedan down there so we'll keep an eye on it but we heard both descriptions we heard honda earlier later on and then we also heard that pontiac call look at that weaving in and out went against traffic right there now kind of just behind that the work truck i'm just letting you know that there's two helicopters actually three helicopters we're up here as well but law enforcement that is the real ones there's going to be a california highway patrol and a sheriff's helicopter here keeping an eye on it you can see right now a little showboating the passenger out of the window with the cell phone uh you know maybe this kind of makes you think that they're in a neighborhood that they know it looked like they were basically getting some video or something with their cell phone sidewalks out there we'll take a little try to get a little wider of a shot but definitely in a neighborhood right now this guy the passenger seems like they're showboating out here so basically putting on a show for anybody in the neighborhood so this might be coming to an end hopefully this will be coming to an end especially if it's if he's in a neighborhood that he knows yeah it almost seems like a like a joyride of sorts now at this point stu you have uh the passing they're hanging out of the vehicle holding a phone and perhaps they're taking video perhaps they're going live on some sort of social media but obviously they know that they're being pursued now by the black and whites and by the airship and they continue to go at a pretty fast clip here at a pretty dangerous driving recklessly so it doesn't look as if this driver is anywhere near stopping they're going they're they're still going and when they start doing that showboating that that just shows you that you know they there is no regard it didn't get very close to that pedestrian but there's pedestrians out there as well and you also have to think if this car makes a maneuver like that somebody else might hit the brakes it and then careen into something it is so dangerous we cannot stress that enough now the helicopters above are still tracking it and uh angelo my pilot this uh well the pilot excuse me angela the pilot uh this afternoon uh just kind of said that we've been in this neighborhood before so we we're basically he's this driver coming back around and that might be part of it they basically were you know maybe letting somebody know and pulled out that cell phone that sheriff's unit that's kind of a tracking mode i don't know if the sheriff's department or the deputies use the word tracking that's more of an lapd they use i believe they use surveillance mode but basically falling back staying farther behind doesn't seem like lights and sirens but definitely in the area and we've said this in the past when this thing comes to a stop it just because we don't see these officers around here doesn't mean they're not listening they're not paralleling they're not making themselves available in these neighborhoods so that when it does come to a stop that there's instantly there's going to be backup and help to take these suspects into custody okay so we're still remaining in the downey norwalk area currently on rosecrans avenue as you said a neighborhood that this pursuit suspect has been in at some point making its way around ultimately in circles if you will it's the top of the hour one o'clock so we do want to let you know that you're now watching an extended version of the fox 11 news at noon on this friday afternoon we have this pursuit underway was picked up in upland the want originally for an equipment violation so rather vague but something obviously wrong with the vehicle that alerted authorities and now this pursuit currently in the downey norwalk area as just mentioned and under the freeway overpasses for a moment there where we're losing the suspect but i know stu you'll be able to pick him up once he shows himself again that's not the car this is one of those ones where we believe that they stopped underneath that underneath the overpass there so we're going to keep an eye on it i know that there's two law enforcement helicopters still here we're going to keep an eye on both ends of that overpass he might have made a u-turn and tried to come around the other way or perhaps maybe they're doing one of those uh meeting somebody in that area uh my pilot angela or excuse me the pilot angela is telling me that uh the vehicle could might have continued on so now we're in one of those spots where we're going to have to try to find that car definitely still moving it's definitely definitely still moving it's interesting because sometimes like i said they certainly know that there are airships that are overhead and then they can't go very much anywhere so often you could have the situation where you have them just stopping underneath the underpass there of the 605 freeway and perhaps think that this way might be a way for them to go unless you found them right there is that stupid i believe that that would be vinnie's excellent camera work that probably is the car now i'm hearing that it's not the car so we're gonna have to it's behind him so we're going to wait for a little bit and see if we get another black car hang on on the side of the freeway finney pull past the red truck on the side of the freeway hang on one second guys [Music] all right so up and over the 605 freeway here which the pursuit suspect had been on earlier and that's when speeds really picked up and now perhaps underneath this overpass here hence why we're having a little bit of a difficulty finding the pursuit suspect up and over the 605 freeway in norwalk so pursuit that started in the city of upland upland police pursuing this vehicle started off as just some sort of a a violation a a equipment violation so maybe with perhaps a broken taillight or brake lights that weren't working when they tried to stop this vehicle the driver kept going uh we believe there are at least two people inside we could we could look inside the vehicle and we could see there is a passenger inside the vehicle the driver driving very radically recklessly 90 miles per hour on certain freeways it's spilled onto the 10 freeway then the 605 freeway and then there on surface streets in the lakewood long beach norwalk area circling around that area and the passenger just showboating as stu was saying climbing out of uh the passenger vehicle and and and trying to take video appearing to to try to take video with a cell phone or perhaps going on social media but the driver kept uh going 90 miles per hour again on those uh on those freeways uh stu have you been able to uh figure out him again yep they are back back on the southbound five freeway there's a sheriff's helicopter right there you have to excuse us about that but yeah i've been in that spot myself where he goes underneath that underpass and you're like did he come out well anyway there he is southbound five freeway you got the you got the moniker up there right there uh there are vehicles pursuing him right now and uh the california highway patrol is not right now involved but we understand that they might be joining here shortly as far as well there you go the the sheriff's ships the sheriff units are basically backed out again so you just have the helicopter now once again southbound five freeway making our way into the or out of the norwalk area if he continues on orange county next stop but you can see that vehicle just driving a little faster than what the freeway speeds are nothing too crazy what does traffic look like at this point traffic you know it is coveted light and it's a friday it is wide open uh the northbound lanes very very slow and go looks like we're going to be getting off the freeway here at imperial uh but you can but the northbound lanes were packed southbound lanes wide open don't know why he's choosing to get off the freeway probably starting to think about maybe yeah you you spoke about doing these these pursuits and covering these pursuits during the during the covid 19 crisis some of the freeways just open roads so that the the driver could drive 90 plus miles per hour and interesting on surface streets fewer cars on the surface street so they can weave around traffic just a bit more good thing is during this hour normally we would have kids that were in school or perhaps kids that were going to be picked up here shortly so we don't have the schools now are not in session but the driver continues to go and uh and uh right now you don't see any black and whites or what's going on there stu in terms of the ground units backed off yeah the ground units backed off once again they uh they feel that it is too dangerous to be behind that vehicle they might even they might even be feeling that those black and whites with the lights and sirens might actually even be agitating that driver again we are just armchair generals here just kind of watching along the driving really doesn't get better or worse when they have the law enforcement behind them this person continues to drive recklessly and at times basically making these wide turns cutting people off using sidewalks just anything that keep that vehicle moving that seems to be the plan for that driver we've all been watching if he gets into some sort of traffic situation where there's cars stopped he will use the shoulder he will go into oncoming traffic he just wants to keep that car moving and that seems to be the plan right now is it a good plan well you know what in the end we always see these guys being taken into custody one way or another this started in the upland area so if he's familiar with the with the norwalk area who knows maybe his friends maybe has relatives out here we can't really say but we do know for a fact that it started in the upland area so that kind of gives you an idea how far this car has traveled really high speeds at one time on the freeway while with while sky fox was rushing to get out here we were hearing speeds of over 100 miles an hour so we constantly had to plan how to get in front of it as we were making our way over here that's what we've been talking about right there always keeping that car moving if there's traffic he's going to find a way around it i don't want to say that we've been here before but it does definitely look like we're back in that same neighborhood again and we're getting back onto a freeway we'll get you those freeways here in just a second all right so uh spent a little bit of time on imperial highway in the norwalk downey area and back on the freeway so that seems to be sort of the method here on the surface streets and back on for a couple of maybe a couple miles and then gets back on uh on and off again and so here we go again and uh this is the san gabriel this is 605. which direction are we heading 605 looks like we're going to be going northbound and either this is what we've been talking about lots of traffic out there this afternoon on the 605 northbound and look at that just but just keep that car moving that's what this guy is doing you know he's using the emergency lane squeezing between vehicles just just keep it going and just faster than traffic the reality is is that even if there were black and whites behind him they might be following him but the the helicopter is gonna obviously gonna be able to go more better wherever this is wherever this car goes looks like he's kind of being forced off onto the off ramp out here so we'll get that off ramp here in just a moment the machine will catch up and we'll get that off or are we doing a transition i'm taking a look out the window no he's just he's just he's just staying he's just staying on the uh on the five at 605 and now transitioning on to the five all right so uh and a lot more go ahead bob i was just i was just saying marlo a lot more showboating uh you almost see that perhaps the passenger doing some live video or video inside the car so um they're certainly almost enjoying this uh sadly you know you can only hope and pray that that no one gets hurt in any of this because of the such such dangerous driving stew definitely dangerous driving and and injury is always my biggest concern looks like when we take there's we're on the transition but we're taking an off ramp right here it looks like we're going to be getting off on torrance again kind of stuck you know there you go the big rigs can't really get through but uh but there is no excuse me there is no black and white behind him right there the passenger looks like he's going to jump out looks like he uh i don't know what's going on there you see a lot of activity and i thought maybe he was trying to take off his seat belt don't know what why he's so agitated so uh right now there you go got the door open uh don't know where he's gonna go hopefully he doesn't plan on jumping into somebody else's vehicle a little discussion going on probably that where we're gonna meet later on or or not here we go doors open but there seems to be some discussion going on there we go uh kind of looking around am i gonna go am i there that's a friend right there driving just gonna kind of just take off with you right there and it looks like as we go a little wider there might be a black and white behind them there because it looks like they were going to jump out and then they they changed their mind possibly because the light changed who knows yeah just i'm going to kind of give up trying to guess what these guys are doing down there but that was interesting both the driver and the passenger out of the car there for a second making some sort of decision obviously they their decision was indecision and here we go with the pursuit continuing on but again stuck and going against traffic to basically run that uh run that left turn right here and uh there you go right again against traffic making another left turn very dangerous stuff okay on to florence avenue here and that was really just a bizarre moment there where it was almost like he was surveying the area to see do we have the black and whites behind us again we're just speculating trying to get into the heads of these suspects at least two people in this black sedan this was picked up in upland for an equipment violation so rather vague but it caught authorities attention and the pursuit has been on ever since chp was the lead agency there's a chp airship up above but in terms of the black and whites on the ground do you see them stu at this point no no we don't and i've been playing with the with the radios up here trying to get to find out if they're going to get back into this chase or not they definitely know what's going on there is no doubt about that the sheriff's department but uh right now they are uh they're talking about you know they're talking about the uh getting back into surveillance mode so so you know something you got to remember is the deputies they are human beings they are people just like you and me and they've got a job to do and you know when they're not being able to do that job well in this case apprehend a suspect they're all chomping at the bit they've got adrenaline they want they want to chase this vehicle they want to bring this to an end so there is discussion going back and forth from the guys and gals in the cars talking to their bosses basically saying well can we do this can we do this how how can we bring this to an end safely uh but it sounds like they're going back into surveillance mode so that means if there are any uh vehicles we're not gonna see them they're gonna be on side streets they're gonna be paralleling they're going to be nearby but not directly behind that vehicle and the helicopter from the sheriff's department basically giving the directions staying where this car is where it's going kind of like what we're doing but extremely it's a really tough decision for them to make to pull back and decide to go into more of a surveillance mode as you saw there very strange when the car stopped appeared to be stuck in traffic there on studebaker and then the passenger gets out and then he freaks out and gets back into the car holding the phone all the while and we have seen during this pursuit that the passenger has been either taking video or going on social media but uh seemed extremely agitated so perhaps here you know these these officers are making a you know they're making the best decision they can to try and determine whether or not pulling back will at least uh create a safer situation for the other drivers on the roadways dude [Applause] spirited for sure that discussion was uh was very annoying i was on the roadway stew [Applause] spirited for sure that discussion was uh was very animated and i was trying to figure out what he was doing in there it looked like they were really trying to discuss something i i've been i've been told that there are at least five sheriff's vehicles from the norwalk sheriff's department uh falling way behind so they are behind but they're not hot lights and sirens there you go again there you go and now in a very tight residential neighborhood the sheriff's ship that's above the california highway patrol left probably because of fuel and the sheriff's department the only one above right now uh basically you know just giving out every direction every street and speeds very methodically letting the deputies on the ground know exactly where this vehicle is it hopefully it doesn't get into an accident and brings it to a stop but when it does stop the deputies will be close enough by where they can just kind of appear and to try to take these two suspects into custody uh right now though just kind of draw you've seen it you know just a little faster than the than the speed series posted speed limits but definitely very dangerous so can you give us a location right now stu and then also what are you hearing about the suspect potentially armed i'm sorry i'm sorry what was the question there potentially armed suspects are you hearing that we haven't heard anything about anybody being armed uh that's for sure we have not heard about any weapon we all been listening we do know that there's more than one person inside that vehicle we saw too and we we're pretty much sure that there's nobody in the back seat and that's one of the reason why they want to have more than uh just the the the one uh you know the one unit or two units behind there because they want to have the extra manpower if these people take off and run they can kind of spread out and catch them or take them into custody right now you can see that vehicle just weaving in and out and basically what's going on is what you can see see right there the pursuit continues california i'm sorry the sheriff's department norwalk division basically the ones that are on the ground and in the air right now making all the calls trying to keep the public safe and get this guy into custody all right so this pursuit looks like on florence right now in the south southgate area uh yeah that you have to you have to assume as officers always assume that the people inside the vehicle could be armed i think initially we were calling this a 2006 pontiac but the blacken the black car appears to now be a honda again we know that two people are inside at some point the windows were down so we could see both the driver and the passenger inside the vehicle now the windows are up they are tinted which also presents another danger for officers who are in pursuit especially if they believe that there's a possibility that they could be armed sue mandel still on in sky fox i've been tracking this uh pursuit where we where are we now stu well it looks like we're getting back into another residential neighborhood i don't remember this one i'm going to ask angela if we've been here before but basically the same type of deal just keeping that car moving to just not stopping we're i'm actually hoping i mean i'm gonna probably jinx myself i'm really hoping for some real traffic i don't want the traffic but i want traffic for this guy because we've seen it when he gets boxed in they got out of that car so hopefully that something like that will happen and they'll try to get out of the car get that vehicle to stop moving and that gives the officers in this case the deputies the opportunity to take this guy into custody right now though you've got the the passenger we've vinnie's doing a marvelous job super tight shot right there and basically the same thing we see this guy just kind of moving around down there i'm not sure if he's using his uh using the navigation for on his phone and calling out stuff or trying to get information on where they can basically jump out and maybe have somebody meet them but uh right now this chase still continues and something else that's interesting is if they have the license plate and which they clearly do and we haven't heard the word stolen why don't they just you know they must know where this suspect lives so it's kind of interesting why they're why they're pursuing it the way they are clearly there's a piece of this puzzle that we don't know right now and you can see some law enforcement right there just happened to be in the neighborhood like i said but not chasing this vehicle this afternoon as this pursuit continues out here in the in this southgate neighborhood yeah east los angeles here now on east florence avenue we understand that as you mentioned stu this is now being led by the sheriff's department the norwalk station there you saw the the black and white just a moment ago so speeds now in the 50s nearing 100 miles per hour at at least one point of this pursuit that started in upland at least two suspects inside that black sedan wanted for an equipment violation lots of near misses driving on the sidewalk wrong side of the road no regard for the law we've seen that the driver's side door open at one point the passenger himself got out looked around got back in we thought he might take off on foot that didn't happen now back in the norwalk downey area on dinsdale street of course if you're watching this at home and you know anybody who lives in these areas to make sure that they stay inside just because it's just it's so unpredictable when you have a situation like this coming through all of these residential neighborhoods still definitely coming through the residential neighborhoods out here if you guys are hearing the uh hearing the scanner radio please let me know we're trying to work this out while we're doing this pursuit driving a little slower as we made our way into this very residential neighborhood out here and you can kind of see this guy might know this area we've said it a thousand times now so i'm going to stop guessing on that but definitely slowing down a little bit driving a little bit more normal as he runs a red light there in this residential neighborhood uh the the sheriff's department helicopter definitely calling out all the streets out here it just because we don't see him behind there doesn't mean that there aren't deputies near by we're back into that norwalk area so we were very close to the east l.a uh southgate probably right at a border right there i believe that was a southgate uh police department uh vehicle that was kind of stopped and just kind of watched this guy make that turn they they are all talking to each other that's the only thing i can tell you all the law enforcement nearby are talking to each other just because it isn't lights and sirens it looks like something out of a television show doesn't mean that they are not pursuing this vehicle they just have different tactics on how to do it they want this to end safely they trying to keep the public safe and they're also trying to keep their deputies safe as well the wipers are on the car so when you see something like that you know there's a little bit of hand grabbing going on down there maybe some fussing uh and somebody bumped the uh bump the wipers so you kind of got a feeling that whatev that is not a calm and serene environment inside that car to say the least agitated you have to wonder in a situation like that because we did see that passenger get out if perhaps the passenger is under the influence or the driver and the passenger under influence something going on there we see that this this the the car the driver continue to drive around the same area so perhaps we can glean that the the driver does know this area has some roots in this area and stu you talked about this uh this honda uh that they do have the license plate and they would you think that they would know the people inside unless of course this is a stolen vehicle then they wouldn't know the people inside so uh there's a lot of real there's a lot of unknowns out there we do know now that this is a sheriff's department handle and so the norwalk sheriff's the sheriff's department the station out of norwalk is handling this right now but no doubt an inter-agency pursuit the chp involved the lapd involved and the sheriff's department involved because this really goes through so many different jurisdictions stu but uh this pursuit continues on bob this is one of those ones where we just keep watching and watching it and just wondering when is it going to end and how is it going to end we always want these to to end in a way where nobody is injured law enforcement even the suspects we just want this thing to come to an end right now though the the sheriff's department kind of on that same page there's a little discussion they might re-engage this or they might actually like we were talking about they might have an idea where this vehicle comes from besides the upland area so they might be just in the in that neighborhood when this thing comes to an end right now though the same plan same game plan from those drivers from that driver inside that vehicle just keep it moving there you go another another kind of blocked in there going against traffic you know there's actually a black and white right there and making another one of those wide left turns this guy doesn't seem to like to make right turns right turns traditionally much safer than a left turn just putting it out there continuing on now though and you can see we're on telegraph and the vehicle it's going faster than posted speed limits but not really reckless by any means the law enforcement in the area above next to and nearby but not with their lights and sirens so there's nothing really agitating this driver right now they just want this thing to come to an end peacefully and for that suspect to go into custody and of course my curiosity is why is this guy running to begin with if it was just some sort of mechanical or they you know maybe a blinker maybe some part of the car something that got that officer's attention where he tried to pull it over why are they running why are they making such desperate plans to stay away yeah now according to our extreme nav on telegraph road as you pointed out stu but it's sane in the east l.a area stopped below back behind these uh cars that are stopped this light presumably so that he can get an open moment here to get that open road and go against traffic which is what we've seen and perhaps make another left turn as you pointed out stu that's kind of the mo here when they approach these major intersections so little idling here this is the most idol we've seen in in some time staying on his side of the road and will he make that left turn there he goes with that left turn again and we're now we're hearing that this is one of those ones where it gets a little awkward for us in the media now we're hearing that the law enforcement the sheriff's department uh they they've pulled their helicopter off and they've told the ground units do not chase this guy just let it go so now it's one of those ones where we're gonna watch it for a little while we'll see if that vehicle uh is going to getting on to the five freeway uh but uh we'll see what happens if he gets onto the five which he is obviously he's always committed uh but uh you know so california highway patrol might have a different take on it especially if this vehicle just happens to pass a highway patrol vehicle at a high rate of speed uh but right now we understand the sheriff's department they've uh they've cleaned their hands of the situation and said it is just too dangerous and uh just it for for the for the law enforcement and for the public to chase this vehicle so they basically just backed off but what does that mean for the airship that means the helicopter the uh the sheriff's helicopter i'll double check for you guys but i don't see it out the window right now and he is completely gone that's what i'm hearing angela's telling me right now completely gone there's just uh it they they get their orders from their bosses and it would be just like one of our boss it'd be like pete saying you know what stu you need to you need to walk away and you know that's what we do we walk away everybody listens to pete's do you just remember that everybody listens to people that's right they're you know they're they're making the best decision they can based on everything that they have seen over the past hour two hours as they're following this vehicle in fact we're going to show the video from earlier this is when they were on student baker trapped between traffic and we get a better look at the passenger as the passenger got out of the vehicle you can see their demeanor there's a they appear to be agitated inside so the driver at one point you know you see the windshield wipers go on during uh that pursuit and then here here you go you're going to see the driver now look how agitated that passenger is holding a cell phone at the time but looks like they're having some i call it a spirited conversation perhaps they're arguing about something maybe he's saying backup backup let's get out of here at some point he he you can see them all just boxed in on studebaker and there's the passenger getting out very uh spirited and uh he's gonna kind of go i don't have the cross right now but he just kind of that red car he made contact he bumped him so so that uh so that that vehicle right there you know that driver is probably like hey what are you doing you just hit me buddy and uh but that's the first time we've seen them at least swap paint on it on a vehicle so there that was a nudge and it was the same thing it was like what we've been saying he just wants to keep this thing moving he got stuck in a spot he could not get out of so he was trying to squeeze through and he bumped into that car not major damage but definitely if it was my car i'd be i'd be pretty miffed about what's going on but uh but it shows you his this mentality is continuing and clearly there is no law enforcement around at all uh there just happened to be a black and white in the opposing lanes but again that's probably one of those guys going back to patrol going back to whatever they him he or she has to do today and staying away from this chase but it just shows you that this person doesn't have any regard law enforcement behind him law enforcement not behind him this this person on a mission and hopefully nobody gets hurt between here and wherever this uh this vehicle wants to stop at so now that's due law enforcement has backed off of this pursuit what's next well that's a tough one uh if he gets out of the if they get out of this area out of the jurisdiction there's a possibility a neighboring jurisdiction might pick it up like earlier on or we saw that one southgate i believe was southgate pd uh they you know it looked like that they wanted to get they wanted to get involved but it wasn't their handle so they basically just kind of were there to watch and now it could be it could change up if he goes into long beach long beach pd might pick it up but in that same breath they might have that same attitude they might say you know what we just don't want the liability this person is you know we there hasn't been any violent crime committed so meaning that you know if this if these suspects have a warrant uh that that might be one of the reasons why they pursued him so so vigorously earlier on but if that warrant isn't something that's you know dangerous as in armed or hurting somebody they might just say you know what it's just a traffic violation or it's just a bench warrant just let this guy go and that is kind of the mentality now because they they weigh the safety of the public along with the safety of the law enforcement they don't want to see anybody hurt and that's that's basically what we're seeing this is the result right here this vehicle continuing to drive on being a little bit aggressive bumped into that one car but right now there's for no reason whatsoever we have eyes on them and i would hope that some law enforcement might be watching our channel but at any rate you know i know they're watching our channel but at any rate uh you know that that's where it is uh there we're just gonna follow this car we're gonna keep an eye on it hopefully it doesn't injure anybody yeah so far we've we've seen that hit and run and if you look at the situation now the car's even the driver well the driver is not looking obeying the the red lights there but driving 30 miles per hour under 40 miles per hour so kind of just meandering his way now on east florence avenue and we talked about the driver 90 miles per hour on the freeway i can tell you having driven on the freeway recently during this pandemic everybody's going crazy on the freeway as it is 90 plus miles per hour so that's not really that unusual in my opinion uh so you i you know they they're just going to have to weigh you know whether this is dangerous what's more dangerous to pursue someone who's agitated or more agitated or or just let it go and and look look at it from afar definitely and bob now i know why you're you're usually uh reporting from home because you're on the freeway doing 90 miles an hour but at they're doing 90 around me not not me the uh one of the he's getting really dangerous right here but something else that angela the pilot of skyfox this afternoon really pointed out is that law enforcement also has to weigh the fact that there's resources that means all these vehicles all these deputies that are following chasing right behind doing all this they are not doing what they should be doing meaning there are patrols there are probably calls coming in and not being handled so that's another reason why the watch commander will basically pull the plug on one of these chases uh the helicopter if there is a dangerous situation that helicopter will would leave this as well right now making a wide u-turn right there it looks like he might be trying to pick a spot it definitely looks like uh maybe looking for that that you know that that hideous parking garage we've seen so many of those that's not nice right there that's not nice right there the guy is like really dude uh so at any rate still running red lights cut off a pedestrian there at least he was driving slowly at least he apologized i think he i hope that was an apology right there uh but at any rate we're gonna keep an eye on this car and uh that driver clearly agitated at least he's not running this red light probably a lot of traffic out there but you can see the driver you know moving around just you know it's like just park the car park the car and jump out just make get everybody safe and what's the point of that you should have just ran the red light anyways here we go again making that uh that right and then crossing the lanes and another right and this uh car continues to run he's not running from any law enforcement right now but definitely driving very dangerously out here in the south gate east los angeles area so we know at least two male suspects and we can determine that they're male we've got a good shot in the driver and then we do want to queue up the moment while we continue to watch this pursuit when the passenger gets out of the car and looks around and as almost as if he's going to run and he's definitely doing some of his own surveillance the pat the driver's side door opens for a moment gets back in and then this is when they make their little needle through and the green light so they were able to get away and then just a few moments ago stu up and over you saw when approaching this intersection crowded and behind this red vehicle ends up doing a little bump right there little bump right there yeah and another one yeah and you know we're getting i'm getting pretty good i'm getting some solid information right now that the uh that the original one on that vehicle is traffic violations meaning uh you know this person you know if it was uh if it was you know like we said something wrong with a tail light or a headlight or something like that but it's just traffic violations and that's another one of the reasons why they you know law enforcement is just going to give it up you know they're not going to risk injury to a deputy or injury to even one of those suspects for just a traffic violation but this car continuing to drive very erratically out here this is where we start playing the public service announcement you know saying hey if you're in this area if you know somebody that's in this area get a hold of them call them use their hands-free device in the car if i haven't by all means don't text but just kind of kind of let people know that uh that this is going on just to try to you know just give somebody the heads up you know like we saw that pedestrian get cut off the car was rolling a little slower but it could have been something entirely different and that's what everybody wants to avoid and right now this car just continues to drive erratically we keep an eye on it out here and uh again with the uh left turn and against traffic and we'll just keep an eye on it and just see where this where this ends up on clara now turning on clara street in the southgate area driving erratically as you say stu going against traffic or crossing red lights and the like but still driving at a really rather slow or normal pace 40 miles per hour under 40 miles per hour i found i did find it interesting as you said as they stopped and the pedestrian was crossing the road there if you took a a closer look it looked like he had a little bit of a conversation with the with the pedestrians saying i'm sorry he waved to him a couple of times uh and the the pedestrian of course did not acknowledge just like an angelino you know uh getting in my crosswalk but but but they had an interaction and it looked like he apologized so in some ways perhaps his his demeanor the way he's behaving is is changing a bit well hopefully hopefully rationality is going to come into all this at one point or another and he's gonna you know hopefully he's down there watching us on this fox app right now and you know realizing there is nobody following or chasing them and when i say that i mean the passenger uh so maybe he's gonna realize that there is nobody following them right now so they can just kind of park that car right here at that lit corner liquor store jump out and run there you go and uh and and at least oh are you kidding me what is that all about are they trying to jack another car yeah it looks like they were going to carjack and a move like that will definitely get law enforcement he gave him something that's going to that's going to get the that's going to get law enforcement's attention if he's just going to randomly kind of pull up on somebody and try to take their vehicle that's going to get the attention of law enforcement now it's going from you know reckless driving pursuit failure to yield to uh to carjacking and that's a much different type of crime it still looks like he's looking for a spot possibly to park and we'll keep an eye on it but it looks like these two almost joined at the hip they they don't want to seem to separate they they they're sticking it out together so we'll keep an eye on it and again that was really unusual to see and i i really kind of wonder uh what law enforcement might think about a maneuver like that yeah that was really bizarre from you know at first i'm thinking that they were just gonna leave the the vehicle there and take off on foot and right be on their way but then you know it's interesting that they picked that that particular corner that particular parking lot and they happen to see that truck and maybe maybe it was going to be available for them to take yeah and if it was that's another that that just makes it more unusual it just it shows you that the uh the iqs that are going on right here if they're gonna swap vehicles where everybody's watching uh and at this point there's nobody chasing them and if even if they what if there was a law enforcement helicopter they would know that they swapped vehicles so it's just uh it just it just gets more and more bizarre making more questions than answers out here uh that driver window down looking out looking back and forth and it just continues on again hopefully he'll find another little spot where he won't try to take another vehicle and like you said just get out and run and and hopefully the law enforcement will show up the deputies in this area will just show up and lock it down and then take these two guys into custody well let's show the moment that you were just talking about bob the pedestrian moment that was just a couple of minutes ago yep the pedestrian of course had the right-of-way and here comes the suspects and then there's this exchange you can see the driver here yep motioning to the pedestrian unknown of what that exchange entailed but it he was stuck at this point in time because of all the traffic going by so he had no other chance to get away and then this moment here this is the bizarre one bob go ahead and narrate this well one of the things i was thinking here is stu talked about being attached at the hip they've got matching shirts matching haircuts i mean they're they're basically they know each other pretty well they try to get into that vehicle they they who knows if there was any anybody in that truck i mean at all so maybe they thought that it was a truck that was abandoned that they could get out the other thing i was thinking is maybe maybe this came from the upland area that is far maybe this is a car that's running out of gas and they need to figure out how to get out of here now or it's going to end at some point anyway but uh now taking a live look they're on oak street uh live oak street and uh they continue on stew that's right and and bob i'm with you i you'd probably think this vehicle not with a full tank of gas from uplink high speed so you know the fuel not getting that best gas mileage not getting that honda gas mileage uh now driving a little bit slower that might be one of the reasons why maybe he is really starting to think i'm gonna need some gas uh but at any rate if if that's the case then why don't they go back to that neighborhood where they were showboating earlier on and there we go another wide u-turn right there changing his mind so it you gotta wonder they seem to have some sort of destination in mind and maybe they actually are using some sort of navigation app to make that type of u-turn it was like oh you missed your turn uh type of thing so maybe there is a destination slowing down again and just kind of looking there we go out of the car oh what's he doing that's the driver what is yeah what is his fascination with with cars here uh and and even if you can get in how are you going how are you gonna how are you gonna how are you going to start it you know this is just really getting are you kidding me oh my gosh i i hope that wasn't lunch you know at any rate somebody just ran up and uh gave him a bag full of uh i don't know what but gave him a gave him a bag gave the driver a bag and uh in this uh continuing on here and it it's you know maybe it was clothing maybe it was lunch who knows but the vehicle continuing to drive around and clearly in a neighborhood that he knows right as uh as you saw somebody run up there and hand them a bag so that person was waiting and that also shows you that they must either know the area are using some sort of navigation where he made that crazy you know u-turn because he had missed his turn earlier on well you make a a great point stu that okay you even if the door happens to be open if the vehicle is unlocked how are you going to start it how are you going to start it what what is the point right there i mean maybe he's one of those professionals gone in 60 seconds uh sure thiefs or something like that but usually they from what i've seen is they they have something with them to make that happen i'm not sure if they have that and there you go again too the the the strict uh policies of the law enforcement just saw another black and white vehicle driving the opposite direction i i don't even know if that uh deputy knew that this was the suspect from earlier on but just kept on driving didn't even slow down i definitely have an ear on the radio trying to find out if they're watching and maybe perhaps going to re-engage this or maybe perhaps they know who these guys are and they're just going to pick them up at a later date well that's a good point for those people who are just joining us perhaps this is a pursuit that started in upland of course it was being tracked by chp and then the sheriff's department picked it up so multi-agency uh pursuit here but then they decided to back off probably about 10 15 minutes ago simply because of the danger it posed to the public so that was a conscious decision by law enforcement we've been tracking it ever since and since that time though that's when in fact this even more bizarre behavior we've witnessed that with we can only suspect that they were trying to carjack two other vehicles to leave this one behind that didn't pan out so the question is if law enforcement will in fact jump on this pursuit again to try and get this guy and two guys in fact into custody you know it's one of those ones if if if the driving gets more erratic if they actually get into a into an altercation with a with a with a pedestrian or some civilian law enforcement basically it's going to really push their hand they're going to have to make their way back out here i don't want to see either one of those items happen right now though the i'm sure they're at the station somebody's at the station keeping an eye on this watching at least we have the uh the extreme mapping going on so they know exactly where this vehicle is but at this point we haven't heard them uh call or ask or tell any of the units to re-engage or try to find this car uh even though we've seen now twice uh that suspect trying to make their way into a vehicle that was locked so it shows you that they they they're trying to do something they and you know if they're just even if they just steal another vehicle it's going to be it's going to be one of those things with that's another crime that's that that is a that's a different crime than just evading so we're going to have to keep an eye on it and uh hopefully maybe uh maybe we can get a law enforcement to to call in and maybe give it give a point of view what you know real time what what they're thinking right now and one of the other bizarre moments that one of our viewers just pointed out to me was this the whole that package exchange when when the guy came and gave him the bag full of who knows what and it's okay so now are you an accomplice involved in this pursuit but definitely an accomplice if he's going to get arrested or taken into custody that's that's that's probably probably not very likely but definitely an accomplice you're you're you're helping in in helping commit a crime even though it right now the law enforcement is basically just kind of letting this one go but still they basically gave this person something if it was food money drugs who knows but uh definitely handed off a package right there to those people that inside that vehicle and it had to be planned that definitely wasn't a random act of kindness that was uh that was basically a uh that was a planned deal they probably were talking to him on the phone and made their way over here to pick that up whatever that is i took a closer look uh at that stew and it did look like it was like one of those you know plastic grocery bags you get and was full there was a lot of stuff in it and almost looked like they immediately opened it as they went into the car i i would guess that it there might have been food inside so maybe that you know they're in it for the long haul here they're they're packing their lunch that they're gonna you know take take what seems to be now a joy ride when we're watching the beginning of this pursuit and we're watching them with their with their cell phones and taking video of what they were doing and sort of having fun fun with it all and uh and it it did look like they went back to their buddy and their buddy gave them something and there they drive off i mean the other the other part of it is like as you said what if it is weapons or something like that it's it's really there are so many unknowns here could be dangerous black tinted windows if the officers do engage when they finally do stop you don't know what you're really dealing with here oh definitely and uh and the deputies they you know this is the thing a lot of times they have a specialized units gang units out here in these neighborhoods and they they actually do they they might actually know these people by name so they they might know what they're dealing with but at any rate it this is a very dangerous situation here we go again where he's clearly boxed in and clearly agitated by that trying to move his way through there and swapping pain on somebody's car this is not witnessing oh that is just oh he took off he took the bumper off and he's yelling at them like you know it's your problem why were you blocking me in this is uh this is very erratic and now now damaging people's property so it you know if it was any kind of fun to watch now it's starting to turn into something else and this is one of those ones where law enforcement they have to be seeing this and they have to be wondering maybe we should just get a couple black and whites out there try to block this guy in try to bring this thing to an end before somebody gets hurt or this turns into something else but clearly right there that i hope that person has insurance and is going to be able to take care of that lost his front bumper and the other car was pretty nice and you just got to wonder you know i i i know i know how i am i don't think i would have just sat in the car and just been like hey see you later bye so and that's the thing if he runs into somebody like that then there's going to be a confrontation this could turn into something very different with just a minor accident so definitely something we're going to keep an eye on well that was at least the second hit and run and that's what we can call it at this point that we've seen during this most bizarre pursuit bob go ahead yeah and i was saying i don't think that the person we don't we can't hear what's happening there on the ground i don't think that the other cars there sat quietly as you say stu i think there was probably some honking or people who didn't know what was going on they probably gave him some words and he wasn't having it either so he opened up his window and he's screaming and yelling at at the cars behind behind him they're saying you know what the heck is going on here you know what are you doing and uh you know that that is where can get a dangerous situation because you have a you have obviously a volatile person possibly under the influence of some something we don't even know but you know seem to be talking very aggressively and violently at other people and other drivers on the road for something that he himself did and then continues on well let's show i know that as we continue to look at this pursuit now on atlantic avenue in the southgate area looks like he's got the street open so look what happened moments ago stops right there in the middle of the street runs out to this suv tries to get in no such luck gets back into his vehicle and before he takes off again you're going to see somebody come up and hand them a bag so watch this it's just a second away yep obviously someone he knows has had to have been planned uh and and now into this uh bumper shot where he gets stuck into some traffic and then says you know what i'm not gonna wait and needle's his way through and in the meantime you're going to see him take off the bumper on the right hand side yep just like that so at least one or two at least two i should say hit runs we've seen we saw the uh the stranger the other person come out and give him a bag we don't know what that is all about at least two male suspects inside this black sedan on currently now santa ana street last check stu law enforcement still backing off despite this more aggressive dangerous behavior definitely we have we we haven't seen or heard any uh sheriff's department this would be i believe we're still in the norwalk area or part where the norwalk sheriffs would be handling we haven't seen or heard any of the deputies making calls or talking about making their way back over here i i'm sure that the people that got you know were in that accident uh they they are definitely calling 9-1-1 and saying you know telling what happened and i'm sure the deputies are going to know that that was the vehicle they were pursuing earlier on so maybe it's just a little slow to go as it would be maybe they're just kind of you know just making their last decisions that could have been ugly that motorcyclist if this guy made that left turn uh but uh right now we're still kind of just driving around out here the southgate east los angeles area it looks like we're kind of back in that same neighborhood where he stopped earlier and got the uh bag whatever it was so gonna keep an eye on it see if he slows down see if he stops but definitely listening also and seeing if law enforcement's gonna make their way back uh back to this uh pursuit hey hey booth can we re-rack the moment the first time that he tried to get into that uh truck that was parked in that parking lot um i'm hearing from our viewers that it looks like he may have dropped something i've heard that and i'm only bringing this up live on the air simply because it's been multiple viewers reaching out saying it looked like he did drop something off so it'd just be interesting to be able to do a playback on that nonetheless it was one of those most bizarre moments that we've witnessed during this pursuit well it was it was the two times the the driver and the passenger at least exited the vehicle to try and perhaps get into some other vehicle so what you're referencing marla was a point where the car stopped there was a truck that was pulled over on the uh in a parking area and they were going to try to get into that vehicle we've been saying that this is a pursuit that started in the upland area so extremely far from the location that they're on right now a pursuit that's built onto the 10 freeway the 605 been circling around the south cake the norwalk area the downey area and this driver continues to go back into uh a parking lot and then back onto surface streets and now into this uh large parking area here we'll see what happens dude yeah if he parks and then runs into a into a store we've seen that happen a couple of times i'm yeah i'm just hoping he's not cruising looking for uh for a victim as it would be perhaps somebody that they want to try to take their vehicle by force right now we're just gonna keep an eye on it this is one of those moments where you know if that driver has a weapon i definitely don't want to see that weapon discharge or anything like that and i also don't want to see anybody get hurt or or their vehicle stolen but it definitely looks like he's driving through this parking lot cruising looking for something hopefully he'll just kind of get back out onto the street it just makes me very nervous when when he's driving around an area like that but there you go he's got it looks like he has a cell phone out no he's just waving just waving at people as he's making his way out here on to the main street again at least he's back out onto a main street when he was driving around there i saw some elderly people by their vehicle that really that really kind of got me on edge uh but right now looks like he's back into traffic and you know how he doesn't like that traffic so we'll keep an eye on it hopefully he doesn't try to pull that same stun again or maybe he does and hopefully the the vehicle gets disabled maybe he'll lose a tire or something and it'll bring this thing uh to a slow end but uh definitely making gestures to somebody as the tv is going to go back to that person or perhaps just making a u-turn to just just to keep this this pursuit moving so here we are east florence avenue still the south gate area right near east los angeles and speeds at a minimum right now in the 20s 30s so this is okay but we've seen so many things that everyone's screaming for where are law enforcement officers because as you said they backed off because it was okay equipment violation and then they look to see that they've only had some traffic violations we will weigh the public safety and back off but then since then we've seen him damage at least two vehicles try to we can uh suspect he was trying to steal at least two other vehicles uh live on the air uh so this is certainly or black and white right okay all right so we do have no that's okay we're going to re-rack actually the moment the first time that he tried to get into um this parking lot we're going to zoom in here this is moments ago well about 10 minutes ago does one of them drop off something underneath it's so hard to tell yeah it's almost like getting rid of evidence at that point where are you going all right uh stu so where are we right now i'm sorry we uh we're just making it looks like we're making our way back onto the 710 freeway right here from florence uh it so i don't know if he's just gonna do the a couple of off ramps type there we go that might be one of the reasons why he was making those moves i believe that's going to be southgate pd well i was hopeful they would get involved they they seem to be a little bit more progressive with their pursuit tactics so there we go so now we have the southgate police involved in the chase right there and uh right behind that suspect 710 on on the freeway looks like we're headed southbound the the issue though sorry we're northbound northbound on the 710. uh the issue with uh southgate pd is that there are smaller uh there's a smaller agency and as soon as they get out of their jurisdiction they are going to fall back and drop back and also i'm sure it's one of those uh where the watch commander is watching and maybe might be giving that same information to that uh law enforcement behind the wheel there saying you know what do not chase this guy just let this guy go and i really i just have a sneaking feeling that they really know who both those guys are especially the one behind the wheel and even if this car does get away or parks and we just kind of you know he runs into a home or something like that it i have a feeling that there will be interaction between law enforcement and that driver in in the future and this definitely will be brought up as to you know look we want you for this as well i have a feeling that that's what it's going to be i think your instincts are are probably right stu that these these individuals or at least the driver knows the area the downy area the norwalk area so and has been on the phone with someone obviously when they were given some sort of a package continues to be around this area so they they likely do know this person and made that choice to pull away from this pursuit and just follow for for a short time but it's interesting the pursuit continued and it almost looked like they're on their joyride and almost baited these officers into engaging them once more and so now it is uh officially yet another pursuit uh on the 710 freeway yeah it looks like we were getting off at atlantic and i think we still are getting off at atlantic uh there's something nope no we're not we're staying on the 710. uh this is one of those ones also where you have to kind of weigh this all out there you go you got the guy outside the window there and uh so we're going to keep an eye on this pursuit and probably be able to watch us on some sort of facebook live yeah in fact we are going to leave it right here as we approach a two o'clock hour we've been with this pursuit since about 12 40 so more than an hour and uh you can pick it up though as stu just mentioned on our website foxla.com we will be streaming it live and also on our facebook page download the fox 11 app just turn on the breaking news push alerts thank you so much for watching this extended version of the fox 11 news at noon [Music] all right guys you heard it there they are ending their coverage here for us and we do appreciate fox 11 again that's our los angeles station they've been following that vehicle for a long time as we had two suspects inside we got to see quite the chase there all right and we do still have their chopper up in the air so what we're going to do is continue the coverage on our own here with you on news now from fox so we are going to continue to keep our eyes from the sky on this vehicle as we do still have two suspects inside so if you're just joining us just to reiterate just what is going on here is uh we do have two male suspects now the original want was for traffic violations we did have multiple different agencies in the los angeles area who were in pursuit of this car then police had backed off the pursuit they were not pursuing them anymore they did not have any cars on the ground and they even pulled their chopper out of the air but our fox 11 chopper did stay in the air and continued to follow this vehicle here and that's when things started to get a little bit odd you saw these two suspects many times stop and try to get out of the car try to open other cars look like they may be trying to switch vehicles to get away in we've seen a lot of erratic driving as he has been going through many stop lights when he's been on those side roads also uh has crashed into a few vehicles as again we've been watching this afternoon so just a reminder you can subscribe to news now on youtube if you haven't yet that way you can stay up to date on all the breaking news just like this that happens across our country all right and what we're going to do is we're going to continue to listen in with our uh chopper we do have that up in the air stu mandel is up in the sky and he's been following this uh chase that's been going on here again police were not in uh pursuit as of a little bit earlier this afternoon then we did see another black and white car following this vehicle here after another couple minutes so we're going to listen back in live right here on news now afternoon and yes i'm stumbling around for words because i'm trying to get my facebook going here but at any rate we're following the chase we're going to be 7 10. uh looks like i didn't quite read that but it looks like we're getting close to the 10 again so i'm wondering if we're going to go back to uh if we're going to go back to upland it's 2 o'clock i know i know uh vinnie wants to go home and uh and angela wants to go home and uh i'm i'm i'm a little bit i'll be honest with you i'm kind of curious on how this thing's gonna end but uh at any rate sooner or later we're gonna have to go get fuel so we're going to keep an eye on everything and can't join you guys i'm sorry i really want to read the comments and help you guys out and try to answer some of your questions but at this rate we are just watching this chase two suspects started out in the upland area upland pd then california highway patrol then the sheriff's department what do we got about another 20 angela for fuel what do we got for oh okay as long as we're heading towards uh an airport and we're near an airport we're gonna uh we're gonna say about 40 more minutes 40 more minutes in the air oh well that's awesome that's that's fantastic i wish i could join everybody on facebook i don't uh my phone is uh it says 3g but you know that the fox is so full of information that it's just jamming up the uh the internet you want to hand it to me for a little bit vinnie all right so sheriffs are hearing it i'm hearing the sheriff's giving directions on where the car is so they're they're staying out of it but they're in the area so well that's good what is it is it but is it southgate it's probably southgate that i'm hearing them on their mutual their mutual aid so he's probably that's probably him trying to well he's going to run out of 710 here in a little bit and then what are you going to do and there's traffic oh let's uh please don't crash into more people i'm just afraid this guy is armed he was he was he was posturing a couple of times when he got out of the vehicle yeah you know and or if he has if if he has a weapon it could it could be ugly the other way so all right so once again we are listening in with our fox la team up in the air soon mandel's been doing the commentary as he's been following this uh police chase now earlier friday afternoon police were in pursuit of this black colored sedan they initially had attempted to pull over the driver for equipment violations in upland upland police then initiated the chase and it started around 12 15 pm pacific time before it was then handed off to california highway patrol it was seen driving at high speeds around those surface streets that we were showing you right here on our news now channel and it was even at times seeing the car going and driving in the wrong direction as well as up on curbs we also saw them blow numerous red lights we saw them damage at least two vehicles and take off so those are two hit and runs that they do also have that will eventually be charged against these two individuals who are inside of this car now the front seat passenger in the vehicle was seen at times with his arms out of the vehicle with a cell phone in hand and it appeared as though the passenger was taking photos or videos during this pursuit you heard our anchors at fox 11 and stu up in the helicopter talk about that at one point even when they were blocked by truck after exiting the freeway the passenger at his door opened looked like he was taking a look around and then his friend almost drove off with him while he still had one leg in the car one leg on the ground so law enforcement had backed off the chase you just heard stu mention that they are still keeping an eye on it sounds like the california highway patrol was at least still calling out when they saw this vehicle pass as i mentioned before we did also see these two individuals attempt to carjack other vehicles both times we saw that it was unsuccessful so we're going to continue to listen in here again with our fox 11 uh stu minelle as he is following this vehicle here this afternoon in the los angeles area when he hit that vehicle that just that changed everything well it's a honda thank you angela uh so speed speeding up a little bit there we're watching the uh the car i'm surprised he hasn't had a flat tire so far not because those tires are no good but because he has run into a lot of things driven over curbs uh drove off the road a couple times a couple sidewalks here and there so it's amazing that he hasn't uh bent a rim or lost the wheel in this uh in this little chase that we've been uh following here all afternoon i was trying to explain that this started in the upland area that was part of the conversation up here again this is kind of behind the scenes it's a little less formal if you hear me talking like about things that might not sound pursuity i'm i'm not speaking to the voices in my head technically they are in my head but they're actually in my headset i have uh my v-pilot angela this afternoon and then vinnie mack on the uh on the camera so that that's one of the reasons why i'll kind of stop and start when we are while we're chasing this pursuit and also i've got radios our desk our assignment desk uh giving information and asking for information uh the chase still on the 710 freeway i believe we just crossed there we're coming up to the 10 and uh if he was it was a 60 okay so we're south of the 10 already so he was uh he was on the um i was the five wasn't it that was a five that was a five really i thought i saw five down there anyways uh so he's continuing southbound on the 710. he kind of hangs out in the northern long beach norwalk area he's been in southgate and then he's also been in east los angeles so he's kind of familiar with that area i would guess because he made it made basically a long beeline all the way from from the upland area to that location right now though just kind of continuing on out here uh we're just keeping an eye on it california highway patrol knows about it there's a uh there's one right behind it there he is hang on i can't hear what they're saying i don't know they're they it hasn't even started yet they're already 10 22 in it they're telling the ground units not to engage in the pursuit and i don't know why i don't know why i have a feeling that these are named suspects and they know exactly who these people are and what they want and where they where they can be found when they're not in this car running around on the freeways and on the streets come i'm out of i'm out of beverage he just passed atlantic number four lane it looks like he's staying in the on the 7 10. well he might get off he's played that game before and nope he's staying on the 710. angela the way it looks he's like he's passing the river right now um uh just go wide real quick vinny i think he's like right out our door yeah he is he's right out our door yeah you won't be able to see him right now uh angela i can i see him yeah there's no off ramp coming up and he should be going under yep the sheriff's cancelled again that's not cool i wonder if it's one of those like if the oh wonderful we're not going to that yep and our day is over but you kind of wonder if like uh like the watch commander canceled it and then some other you know somebody else is like well we're gonna re-engage it and they're like wait a minute i said no you know right white van passing him i don't i don't know i think he's going to get back off the freeway and start driving around his neighborhood again oh come on how far out are our good friends uh for the relief helicopter because we're now we're starting to do that we're gonna have to go to another airport to get fuel and we need to hand it off to him at least kind of try to talk him in right i mean that would be the right thing to do all right copy on about 15 minutes so they're all insane uh i'll talk to angela she's busy right now trying to keep us alive so they they got about 15 minutes before uh our backup is here are we gonna have to go to long beach or we're gonna be able to get home if we if we get 15. uh not that i have a problem with long beach i love long beach oh look at this there we go yeah this guy really i mean he is worse than me he really does not like traffic there we go there we go let's just drive up under the curb here and uh park and we're just going to jump out did you put it in park no you didn't put it in park and they're off running across the grains look at that he's climbing uphill all right man that guy's got some good cardio i'd be huffing and puffing oh there we go they're they're running out of speed whatever was in the bag is important because he's still got the bag blue hat surprise yep he's hitchhiking uh florence avenue and and the freeway and the 710. he's like hey man dude don't get in the truck it's at the 710 710 in florence oh no come on i don't want to see a carjacking all right dude dude go back to him go back to him this guy this guy he's just gesturing like he's got a what's he got in his hand that's a cell phone it's a cell phone oh thank gosh please please please please i just need a ride i just need a ride just just open the door me and my buddy are you kidding me are you kidding me definitely keep an eye on that car you know i see something like that and i think my daughter you know what i mean unbelievable so basically what we just saw carjacking maybe that that's a tough one they they were allowed into the vehicle they got in the back seat of that car uh that driver does he know or does he not do they not know who just got in the backseat of their car you know it's going to get interesting when law enforcement shows up and tries to pull that car over because that driver probably not wanting to get into a pursuit but definitely having two uh two suspects in the back seat of their car okay they're they're it's uh nissan they're they're at crafton crafton in florence crafton in florence continuing on okay that helicopter that shadow that you just saw right there that's going to be the sheriff's department they're back up overhead uh definitely communication between the media and the sheriff's department helicopter definitely going on right now and this is one of those ones where you just got to wonder what's going to happen when the law enforcement pulls up behind that vehicle are they going to are they going to is the drive i'm sure the driver is just going to pull over there's a black and white behind him but he's gonna he's gonna wait for backup before he tries to pull him over the backup's coming back up's coming okay good good good good good yeah they are behind it they got the right one they know it okay all right whoa should have locked the could should have locked the doors should have locked the doors up there we go out for a little run god that guy can run oh he fell he fell oh the justice they got him too i just love karma ah the universe all right that's we are i'm being serious uh this is actually the end of the lens right there we don't have enough lens to get it i'm being if the sheriff ship leaves then we might have that opportunity but i don't think they're going to leave anytime soon it's farther down it's probably right underneath us it's right underneath us yeah i think it's that one no is it that one maybe he left maybe he saw his opportunity and left do you think so excuse me ma'am excuse me that's all the lens we have i i'm being serious that's that's that's it that's everything you think so they're saying it's the wrong car they took off or no there it is it's right there there it is that's it right that's it that's for i'm sure that's it that's the nissan that's the nissan they're like hey hey hey hey hey yeah that's what i'm saying some young kid doesn't know what he's doing you know what i mean oh yeah sure i'll give you a ride they should have just locked the doors yeah true right all right kids uh are we clear back to base i don't think it was pre-planned at all i think these are just young uh kids that you know might have thought they were doing somebody a favor tell your kids never pick people up on the side of the road i grew up in the i grew up in the universe of you know you don't pick up hitchhikers don't pick up hitchhikers don't pick up hitchhikers now it's an app and it's just totally okay so there's sheriffs these are sheriffs norwalk sheriffs all right guys do want to say thank you again for being here with us on news now happy
