Armed suspects accused of multiple carjackings led law enforcement on a dangerous pursuit that began in the San Fernando Valley and stretched into Los Angeles on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
The chase began with law enforcement pursuing carjacking suspects in a stolen pickup truck. Early in the chase, at least one suspect reportedly fired shots at CHP officers after driving the wrong way on the freeway.<\/p>\n
The driver then ran into the front of the tanker truck, and the truck’s original driver ran out. CHP confirmed that a firearm was recovered in the original pickup truck that was stolen.<\/p>\n
From there, most of the chase continued with the driver behind the wheel of the stolen tanker truck.<\/p>\n
Truck drivers watching the pursuit live called the ABC7 news desk and said the tanker truck was not carrying hazardous material. It may have been a milk truck.<\/p>\n
About 30 minutes into the chase, the semi-truck neared downtown Los Angeles. The driver eventually exited the freeway downtown, taking the dangerous chase to surface streets.<\/p>\n
Things began to slow down when the suspect began circling high rises downtown, though the chase continued on.<\/p>\n
Shortly after 11:30 p.m., the driver got on the 10 Freeway going the wrong direction, driving into oncoming traffic. A few minutes later, the two suspects bailed from the stolen tanker truck and got into a third stolen vehicle — this time, a white pickup truck.<\/p>\n
The chase continued once again, picking up much faster speeds with the suspects in a smaller vehicle. At one point, they briefly stopped in Boyle Heights, where the driver and the passenger swapped places.<\/p>\n
After a few minutes, the suspects jumped out of the white pickup truck.<\/p>\n
LAPD confirmed that the suspects carjacked a fourth vehicle and sped away. That’s when police apparently lost sight of them.<\/p>\n
At last check, police had not taken anyone into custody.<\/p>\n
