Carjacking suspect arrested after chase on 405 Freeway from LA to OC
A suspect was taken into custody Monday evening after leading authorities on a chase on the 405 Freeway from Los Angeles to Orange County.
The suspect was reportedly wanted in connection with a carjacking, though further details weren't immediately available.
AIR7 HD footage showed the suspect driving a black Toyota Tundra at mostly normal speeds with very little traffic on the freeway. He drove through Los Angeles County, making his way south into Orange County
The suspect began slowing down around 8:20 p.m. and ultimately came to a stop at the Center Avenue exit. He rolled down his window and put his hands out as five California Highway Patrol units sat behind him.
A few moments later, he opened his door but didn't fully exit the vehicle. He appeared to be communicating with officers before making a move.
Soon after, five CHP officers slowly approached the suspect with their guns drawn. One of the officers grabbed the suspect by the hand and he was taken into custody.
