A pair of suspects led police on a thrilling, high-speed chase through Los Angeles on Sunday night after carjacking multiple vehicles, including a big rig, on live television. The daring crime unfolded with the suspects evading law enforcement for nearly an hour before fleeing on foot, with no arrests made as of Monday morning.
The chaos began when the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department began tracking the suspects in a dark-colored pickup truck, believed to have been stolen. At one point, the vehicle stopped, and the suspects attempted, but failed, to break into two different cars before carjacking a white big rig and heading onto Interstate 5. The suspects later ditched the big rig near downtown Los Angeles, taking off in a stolen white pickup truck to the Boyle Heights neighborhood.
The Los Angeles Police Department reported that the driver of the stolen pickup truck was at one point driving the wrong way on Interstate 10. Authorities warned that the suspects should be regarded as ‘armed and dangerous.’ The chase spanned several areas, including Sylmar, Santa Clarita, North Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Echo Park, downtown Los Angeles, Westlake, and Boyle Heights, according to reporting from FOX 11.
Despite the extensive pursuit, the suspects managed to escape, with no arrests made as of early Monday. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and the California Highway Patrol for further details on the incident. The event, which included live television broadcasting of the carjacking, has sparked ongoing discussions about public safety and law enforcement response in Los Angeles.
