Two detained after brief pursuit with box truck in San Gabriel Valley
Two people were detained following a brief pursuit with a box truck in the San Gabriel Valley on Sunday afternoon.
San Bernardino County deputies told CBS News Los Angeles that they began to follow the vehicle in Rancho Cucamonga after an off-duty Los Angeles Police Department officer informed them that a wanted suspect was in the area. The chase continued onto the 210 Freeway, heading towards Los Angeles County at around 6 p.m.
California Highway Patrol officers also became involved in the chase as it continued near the 605 Freeway, heading towards Duarte, where the suspect pulled off the freeway and into a parking lot at the intersection of Mountain Avenue and Maynard Drive.
Authorities haven't yet provided specifics on why they initiated the pursuit or why the suspect and passenger were detained.
SkyCal was overhead as law enforcement personnel opened the back of the box truck while the two men were placed in handcuffs.
CHP said that the driver of the truck was wanted on a felony warrant related to possession of explosives and/or firearms, but did not provide further information.
They also said that there was a second vehicle that was briefly following the box truck that was wanted on a separate felony. The driver of that car, who was considered to be armed and dangerous, was not apprehended.
