LOS ANGELES—A man who allegedly stole a vehicle in Ventura County on July 19 and fled into Los Angeles County was eventually boxed in by pursuing officers and arrested after carjacking two other vehicles, leading police on a car chase that led back to Ventura County, topping 100 mph, and causing a crash which injured two officers in Toluca Lake.
It was unclear exactly when and where the series of auto thefts began, but around 11 a.m., a pair of Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers who were pursuing the suspect were injured in a traffic crash in the 10500 block of Riverside Drive, according to the department.
