4 Taken Into Custody After Car Chase
After an hourlong chase across the San Fernando Valley that reached speeds of 70 mph, four people were taken into custody Tuesday on suspicion of evading police and driving a stolen vehicle.
The pursuit began about 9 a.m. in the 500 block of Glenoaks Boulevard after a parking enforcement officer at the San Fernando Swap Meet discovered a Chevrolet Camaro that had been reported stolen more than a week ago, Los Angeles Police Sgt. Ken Belden said.
The chase ended on Kittridge Street near Van Nuys High School, Belden said. No one was injured.
Two men, the driver and one passenger, were taken into custody. Police could not identify them, Belden said.
The other two passengers were juvenile girls, one of whom had violated probation, Belden said. One girl was released to her parents and the other was to be returned to Juvenile Hll.
