Police pursuit: Officers chase stolen vehicle in Echo Park area
Los Angeles police officers were in pursuit of a suspected stolen vehicle in the Echo Park area.
The vehicle appeared to be a dark-colored Tesla sedan.
The pursuit began around 9:35 a.m.
At about 9:49 a.m. the Tesla ran over a spike strip on a one-way street. The driver proceeded to a nearby store parking lot near Alvarado Street and Glendale Boulevard in Silver Lake, and parked. Police officers pulled up behind with guns drawn.
The driver got out of the car and leaned against the doorway a few times and talked to at least one officer, but did not immediately surrender.
The suspect sat on a curb behind the vehicle and lit a cigarette. Just after 10 a.m., about eight officers pounced on the suspect to subdue and arrest him.
