CHP pursuit with speeding driver loops from LA County to Orange County and back before arrest

California Highway Patrol officers followed a speeding driver from Santa Monica to southern Orange County before the suspect returned to Los Angeles County and was arrested on Saturday night.

Police told CBS Los Angeles that the chase began on westbound lanes of the 10 Freeway near the Robertson Boulevard ramps in Santa Monica.  

After speeding along multiple freeways, including SR-22, I-405 and I-5, at speeds up to 100 miles per hour, the suspect exited onto surface streets in the Mission Viejo area near El Toro Road and Avenida De La Carlota.

They then proceeded to get back on the 5 Freeway heading northbound, continuing back towards where the chase began. At around 11:55 p.m., the suspect got onto the eastbound 10 Freeway with one CHP patrol car still following close behind despite the high speeds.

The driver exited the 10 Freeway via the Exposition Boulevard offramp near Roberston Boulevard, near where the pursuit was first initiated. 

Just before midnight, after CHP officers pulled off the pursuit, the suspect turned off the car's lights after driving down a Pico-Robertson alleyway. SkyCal was overhead as the driver continued, however, heading down Livonia Avenue, where a police vehicle appeared to locate the suspect.

The suspect exited and attempted to flee on foot after parking the car near Key Street and Robertson Boulevard. He was tackled a brief time later after running into the middle of the street, narrowly avoiding other traffic. 

Both CHP and Los Angeles Police Department officers could be seen assisting as the suspect was taken into custody. He has not yet been identified.
