PACOIMA, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A driver in a suspected stolen car led law enforcement on a dangerous chase through the San Fernando Valley Tuesday evening and was later taken into custody after hiding inside a warehouse.<\/p>\n
The chase began shortly before 8 p.m. The suspect was driving erratically with the vehicle’s lights off, weaving in between lanes and almost hitting multiple innocent drivers. At times, the chase topped speeds over 90 mph.<\/p>\n
The chase came to an end shortly before 8:30 p.m. in the Pacoima area when the suspect ran from the vehicle on foot and into a nearby warehouse.<\/p>\n
At least two employees ran out of the warehouse as California Highway Patrol and Los Angeles police officers surrounded the building.<\/p>\n
The suspect appeared to hide inside, sparking a standoff with police. Branford Street was closed between San Fernando Road and Laurel Canyon Boulevard.<\/p>\n
AIR7 was live over the standoff for over an hour, where LAPD officers were seen going in and out of the warehouse.<\/p>\n
At one point, a K-9 was sent inside, but didn’t appear to make contact with the suspect. An officer was also seen entering with a megaphone.<\/p>\n
Police were eventually able to take the suspect into custody.<\/p>\n
