Police chase: Authorities in pursuit of burglary suspect in San Gabriel Valley

copy oh sorry we have issues with ifb right now you can see a lot of traffic there sheriff department they know what they are doing trained professionals they have their guys on the ground to back up and hopefully this driver of this BMW will do it. Slow down Start driving a little bit more safely and just stop doing all these things that we're seeing there, these extremely dangerous movements. Now that it's been on the highway at some point, it looks like we're moving forward. Getting back on a freeway right now almost kills that Gore Point and you know, those are the things when we see these reckless drivers go the wrong way, you know, hit the curb like that, hit a Gore Point, start using those emergency lanes the first thing that comes What I have in mind is that, hopefully, you will get a flat tire and this will be over very, very quickly.

Now I can tell you that we are headed to the 605 freeway, where we are going to go north on the 605. the map up there for you, but this vehicle continues to move here and again, now they are talking about possibly turning it over to the Highway Patrol from California, but to say it, they have to get their guys in position so that the helicopter, the sheriff's helicopter, stays. Above the high speeds that you can see right there, the robbery

suspect

s in that vehicle I don't know if there is anyone else besides the driver, but right now there are still very high speeds this morning, at least we are on the highway, no there are red lights, there are no intersections, very, very Dangerous.

I'm not saying that the danger is just gone and anyway, but when we at least don't run those red lights, we don't have people driving, you know, just going through an intersection. and having this guy running by there uh right now, even though we're on the freeway, everyone's going in the same direction, accelerating there where we're actually pushing 90 miles per hour, we haven't seen those triple digits for that vehicle, we're not saying that You can't do it, it appears to be an older, bigger BMW, I don't know if it's a five or a seven, but the helicopter, the sheriff's helicopter, is definitely flying overhead, they're watching this, they're yelling at it, I think they're giving the signal. head to the California Highway Patrol if they're going to give it up that's a different story because it has to be an official like well guys it's yours the helicopter can stay with it until the sheriff excuses me until the helicopter the California Highway Patrol can join.

At this time though these

suspect

s are still fleeing at high speed northbound on the 605 in the Azusa area and are again moving the same. Direct action is traffic, we haven't seen him cut anyone off, that's a big plus, but as far as the

authorities

are concerned, no one is really after him and That's one of those things where you know the guy that's there or the suspect behind the wheel should just look around, calm down a little and maybe just stick his foot out, we get that you're running, but you know. Let's try to be sure.

I hope no one gets hurt even on the highway. We've seen these things go south. We have seen people lose their lives. We definitely don't want to see that this morning abroad. This is really what I always do. you see on the freeways, you know people are driving, you're going towards this, you're going, you know the California speed limit of 70 miles an hour and then you look in your mirrors, everything is clear and this guy is coming at 100 miles an hour. I'm not expecting that and that's where those accidents happen. This driver definitely probably got his adrenaline pumping right now by looking in the rear view mirror trying to maybe figure out where he is.

You know whatever that person is trying to do and not paying attention to 100. Just the driving. I see the blinker on from time to time, which is a little unusual just for a BMW itself, but right now you can see this vehicle heading north on the 605. You all know the kind of dead ends on the 605. .210 there are a lot of options out there, you can take the 210, he can get to the Azusa area right now, still on the 605 though, these major lane changes back and forth give me the idea that yes. no or the drug, the suspect doesn't know where exactly to go, but again, law enforcement overhead is calmer, they're making plans, they're trying to get ahead of this, but now I just hope he doesn't collide with o hurt someone while this

chase

continues.

It seems like we're making that transition right now. If I had to guess, I would say we are transitioning onto Highway 210 eastbound. Looking forward right now, I can tell you that it is. PR, it's good, pretty much what you see there, nothing is really stopped, it's not bumper to bumper by any means, but this is something unusual right there, California Highway Patrol, hello, and that's not a coincidence . I can tell you that this officer was waiting. For the suspect to make his way onto the freeway, this is an advantage in a way if the California Highway Patrol is activated and this officer appears to be doing lights and sirens it will at least alert some people that something is happening and everyone will know that you hear it.

After the lights and sirens you move to the right or at least look around to see what's going on and that will alert a lot of these people, hopefully no one gets hurt but the speeds take a bit. Look at the speeds guys, once you saw the

authorities

, we're now at 115. We're in the triple digits, so now that BMW is really starting to move into the shared lane, Wide Open Tony, you can take a look. You were asking about the traffic I'm going to take a little bit wider shot the sun is coming up and everyone is driving there they have the sun in their eyes my pilot this morning Jeff is having to deal with it too, but that's going to give They give him some problems for that driver and, of course, for everyone else there too.

They have to dawn. I'm sure the visors are down. People are probably squinting and this guy is driving in the emergency lane at a hundred miles an hour. Come on, oh no, I was just taking a look right there, actually one of our radios where I was listening to uh the arrow that means uh, the sheriff's helicopter. I'm not Liz, I can't hear you guys right now, so I was. I'm wondering if that unit, a California Highway Patrol unit, was actually told to back up and it looks like they may have done that, so yeah, again, I'm not losing the car, which gives you that idea. again that law enforcement is very very concerned about public safety and now they have no one behind this vehicle, which means no lights or sirens.

This bad guy looks in the rearview mirror and sees no one, but he keeps driving at about 100 miles per hour through traffic. this morning on Highway 210 eastbound in the San Gabriel Valley area and at this point authorities have the helicopter. I'm sure they're keeping an eye on him, but as far as the guys on the ground, lights and sirens, no one's after him, so this this person right now is really running from his own demons oh that, I'm glad that Have you clarified that because I wasn't sure we were in another story, this morning there was a short

chase

but they lost that vehicle so Actually this one is different and that's what law enforcement has to balance, how dangerous is it? , how do you know how dangerous this suspect is, well, this suspect, very dangerous, there you go, Tony, we're really starting to understand it. in traffic and no one wants to see this.

I don't, and you know, even if this guy just crashes or swaps paint with any of these other vehicles, it's still a collision that still ruins someone's day, but that's minor compared to what could happen right now. although this driver, this BMW, was wanted for theft, as you said, residential

burglary

in the Walnut area, he is still continuing to drive much faster than the speed limit, at least he is slowing down a little bit at this point, although we are still at the 210 highway that we have. eyes on it, I'm sure the

police

are watching too and I can tell you that I know they are going to plan something when this comes to an end, hopefully this vehicle will just stop and the guy will just jump out of the

police

.

He'll magically appear and this guy will go into custody. Safety is the number one priority always for law enforcement and that's the safety of that suspect, the safety of the public safety of their other law enforcement, that's the biggest concern and you know, in this guy. of situations, I'm sure someone somewhere in law enforcement is hopefully looking at our photo and sees this vehicle still driving at 100 miles per hour. A couple of close calls here on the highway. Thank God, no one is there. There has been no contact. Someone will get involved again. this chase or they will, someone will say, you know what we have to at least have at least one unit behind just to warn the public right now, although I was still flirting with those three digits up here weaving together and outside, you go back to using the lane. emergency, thank God, he stays on the freeway because that's the thing when he starts running red lights going through intersections, that one was pretty close and that's when it really starts to get dangerous right now, although the suspected robbery they don't know if there was a gun involved, these are the things they are weighing and Roxy, I have said on previous occasions, which is a much higher salary level than mine.

I couldn't make these decisions because when you make that wrong decision, someone could get hurt. and my goodness, I couldn't imagine it looks like we're going off the freeway here, it's going to be in the San Dimas area and of course those high speeds and now bring in you've got the California Highway Patrol right behind us. him and also a motorcycle officer which is really cool to see and just making it open to the freeway look at the back of that BMW swerved a little bit right there and I'm really happy to see the California Highway Patrol behind it of him and now I'm going to take a second and press some buttons here and try to keep up with what the authorities are talking about as they chase this car now heading west on Highway 210 overseas.

You have to think you know the driver like you said is passing. his body and again driving towards a thing is what the police put behind it, California CHP officer, the speed really increased, so this person is definitely aware that he is being chased by oh, it's bigger, but It's definitely a Series Seven so that's a big V8 that's a powerful vehicle and right now all that power is really going to start blocking them up there that bike is going to have that ability to get in and out but this guy really does it. push I'm going to keep an eye on him here while he weaves through traffic to get to that emergency lane.

I'm just keeping an eye on what he's doing there, but wow, look at these in and out movements and then here we are. come again and just squeezing around there now that motorcycle officer will have that ability to keep up, but that vehicle will have to move a little slower, but right now, even in this traffic, uh, this suspect is really pushing the limits here and this is, again, 210 Freeway, we'll be in the San Gabriel Valley area, basically back to where we started. I'm curious to see if he goes back to the 605 where he was, wow he did, I don't think so, oh look and that's what I'm talking about, these people are just going to work this morning, surely no one was hurt, but you know who wants that and so it is.

It's just I know it sounds very unprofessional but it's just not right and now on this the suspect is still moving forward here thank God no one was hurt but there are definitely two collisions so far where we've seen minor collisions and again we went to in the pool lane, maybe, hopefully, they had some damage to one of the wheels and that will put an end to it, but oh my goodness, we moved forward as we crossed the 210 and it looked like that big truck was almost there. trying to squeeze them out a little bit, it looks like we're getting to see if we'll be able to get off the highway, but it looks like it's pulling out of areas that were really crowded, which is not good because now we know it's going to start accelerating once more, foreigner.

Oh definitely, Tony, every time we see these suspects that are desperate to escape, they start to get cornered, that's one of the reasons why the authorities don't lock up vehicles like that is because of that kind of mentality you know, you need to run away, uh, you know, in anything to make it happen, that's, you're right when we find ourselves in these difficult situations, this person has been in the emergency. Lane Gore aims his way through. There we saw two vehicles from Club Two trying to move into the far right lane and also yes, I'm sure they couldes, the front wheel is probably hindering driving, if anything else can.

I can't imagine it having any kind of solid handling as this continues on the Five Freeway southbound and at speeds like you said, I was surprised. I was actually just doing the camera there. I was surprised when you said speed. I looked up and thought. oh my god this guy is really going 70 miles an hour here we go the tire is completely gone now it's completely gone so now he's rolling on three wheels and that might have given him a little more maneuverability but no It's going to give you stopping power and it's definitely not going to give you any kind of ability.

He didn't make a sharp turn like he did when exiting the highway. The California Highway Patrol joined in again right there and there was a lot more smoke coming out. It's probably because he's trying to break up. I'm going to ask Jeff to move us away from the wall of sound as we exit the highway. It's probably the best option, but I'm really wondering what it is. what he's going to do when he gets to the end of the highway, he won't have any kind of braking power and I wonder if this car will continue afterwards right behind him, yes this would be the time to pit. maneuver if they were going to be if they could do it and it looks like we're going back to the highway this is: I'm speechless, I'm completely speechless oh, it's strange and it's getting stranger and stranger that the car continues to move on the highway it seems to be kind open like maybe they would do some kind of traffic stop, they could do a pit stop at high speeds, we've seen it, in fact I saw the LAPD do it at 50 miles an hour once on a freeway that overturned the vehicle, but maybe that's part of their plan, maybe they can clear the freeway, they mean they can get there and then basically be a little more aggressive.

This vehicle continues to go 70 or 80 miles per hour, it's definitely in three. wheels, that one, the car definitely squeaks from time to time, it's just that the chassis bottoms out every time they hit a bump or something, the wobble is what worries me because I just don't want to see them lose control and hit others. people driving to work this morning, yeah, it could be that the rear bumper is definitely hanging off the back, uh, probably not a big deal, but I wonder what things come out of the front, the tire separates. Parts may have removed the rear passenger and rear passenger tire.

Let's be clear about that, but this car keeps going, this driver keeps pushing it. Look at the highway, even if you look at the highway. That's not morning traffic, for sure. I'm sure they've basically moved some of their vehicles or disrupted traffic. There are a few cars out there right now, but the California Highway Patrol is getting pretty close, hopefully they'll be able to do some sort of pit maneuver. put an end to this. I have a feeling that if this car turns even though it's a big BMW and you can clearly see it rolling on three wheels grinding that chassis, it's still going to uh maybe maybe that kind of turn.

The engine will stall and may not restart, but there are two people in that car right now, as we understand it, and this chase continues. Thank God, no one has been hurt, but this is not over. I'll try, Jeff, can we get to the other side? Okay, I heard we can go to Fullerton. Okay, whatever we're approaching. Yes. There is a lot of smoke coming out of that car and a lot of parts are still flying out of the front. Yeah, you know, once. that wheel was gone, you're in the, basically, in the uh, in the, sorry, you're in the center and you've got pieces flying and it's like you hit that other car right there.

I'm sure a lot of those things aren't plastic. I'm sure it's a lot of metal pieces that will be a lot of that hub, a lot of the steering will be down there too and everything is squeaking it's starting to fall off the car this is basically going to help bring oh look this is this is a reason why I didn't want to, I didn't want to get here because if we got off the highway, I may not be able to see it because of the wall of sound, but right now it's still going on, this will be one of those places.

I mean, we've seen it in the past, he basically just pushes his way through, but dude, it's okay. Stay on the road, don't get on the highway, that's a big plus. I was also surprised that this is an older BMW, these are great cars, we have seen them in many movies, there is a reason why many diplomats were choosing these vehicles in the past and this is probably one of the reasons, but in this Right now this car is in the wrong hands doing the wrong things and the authorities just want to stop it before it crashes into someone and causes someone injury. on the wrong side of the road paddling in the wrong direction going in the wrong direction oh my god oh dear it's amazing that this is going ahead uh right now we're turning onto another highway uh this would be a place of The course behind the trees would be a place where they could do that maneuver in the pits, uh, but definitely the driver that driver knows that the driver somehow knew that he said he started accelerating a lot as he was getting back onto the highway here, uh.

Now we're on 91. I also have to say that Skyfox is running out of fuel and I don't want to say that, but it is what it is and we're going to stay. with it as much as we can, if we continue in this direction, we will approach other airports, but right now you can definitely see this vehicle falling apart, that front wheel is held in pieces. and you know that's part of it too, if that comes apart at these speeds on the highway and a big chunk of that comes off, that could be that, it could hurt some people too, there goes the rear bumper, yeah, there goes the rear bumper. oh man, I couldn't even imagine it now, yeah, drive it until the wheels fall off, this guy is taking that to the actual literal meeting, uh, right now it looks like we're heading back onto an off-ramp, and more parts of the car are coming off.

They are dating. There's the front wheel. I'm surprised the tire is still there. I thought it had fallen. It's basically on its side halfway through, but at least to the center right now it's still going on in this vehicle and every time it hits those bumps, yeah. yeah, he just got got his foot got his foot on it and he got uh he got three wheels and he's definitely gonna drive this thing until all the wheels fall off oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah it's just you gotta wonder what California Highway Patrol, I mean, these guys want to put an end to this, more pieces come apart, at least he's on the side and if it happens here, he'll just go off the road, but when he's out there with traffic in it and it starts happening like that, that tire goes out at 80 miles an hour, 70 miles an hour, that could be a real problem for anyone who might be around and it continues there, some of those big trucks pass them, it seems like I'm wondering if the car keeps pulling to the right , I mean it, just because it's missing all those parts, yeah, definitely, there we go and put it in the hole, do it, do it, do it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just, yeah, just, yeah.

He almost had that opportunity right there, but even at those speeds, you know, you know, they want to put an end to this, but they have to be safe and they have to take into account the safety of the officers and the suspect. I don't clarify that these officers are enough, you know they are thinking about the safety of that lunatic behind the wheel and uh and right now swerving, yes that is true, especially now that we are back in traffic, but it seems let's see if He He's going to try to get you to use that exit ramp, but you're definitely in the emergency lane.

I'm wondering if it goes off the road, which could disable the vehicle in a way that you know if it gets stuck in the dirt, maybe you can. I can't go, but right now I'm going ahead and, uh, it looks like we're going. I'm going a little further ahead to see if we have an off-ramp, yeah, let's see if he uses that off-ramp once. again, I don't know, Jeff, they're asking when we really have to go, okay, we've got another two, we've got another 10 solid, as long as we stay in Long Beach, yeah, this car is falling apart and this is a and this it is actually.

The good side of the car, as would be the other side, is the one that really has all the damage. uh, moving on from this, you know I have to make fun of it a little from time to time, but this is what it really is. Very, very dangerous this morning and there are so many dangerous situations here that we have not seen, thank God, we have not seen any serious injuries, but this driver continues to push this car trying to escape, he is not going to escape, but at this moment, yes something was in front of him and he had to brake hard, I find it hard to believe that that vehicle was able to stop in a timely manner and that's really what worries me and I'm sure many law enforcement authorities Watching I'm also thinking the same thing, uh, Highway 91, you can see it right there, speeds of 50 miles per hour, the rest of the vehicle is probably going about 30.

This one is clearly disabled and still very close to many of these other cars. I'm surprised the blinkers still work on that BMW, look at that, Jesus, they're there, yes, yes, they're there. Lights and sirens will definitely help the situation. You can see, uh, the California Highway Patrol. I have the advantage right now that that officer is slowing down from time to time and then speeding up when necessary uh when it's safe that's probably the best way to say it was safe more parts of it uh Rim just goes flying and probably hits a lot of these other vehicles there again, you know, people at home might say, "You've got a chip on your paint, big deal." I like my car, I don't want to have any chips on the paint and you know, and this guy is just flying.

More and more parts are flying off the car as it passes all these foreign Iowa Patrol vehicles from California. I'm sure they're thinking much the same thing, maybe they're just waiting for Leo to look at all that stuff coming out. of that, so yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely, and I just and I'm sure what we're seeing are parts of that edge. I thought the whole edge had come off before, but it was still there and it looks like here we go. maybe maybe maybe the car is starting to give up, there's the rest of the bumper, there's the rest of the bumper and it looks like it's trying to break through and it keeps going, let's see what, uh, what law enforcement you see, law enforcement law. they have to follow the rules they have to be sure what but what happened oh I didn't think maybe he hit the uh hit that bar there on the truck this would be the right time yes yes yes yes no ah and you know These maneuvers seem so easy and simple when we look at them, but they are not.

These guys are highly trained, they have to time it right and they have to stay safe, but you can see they are aggressive. trying when the opportunity arises, that driver, that CHP officer will definitely get a gold star, uh, when he gets back to base today, at least for the effort, uh, trying to keep up with him if he goes off the highway, I think that CHP officer is going to be very aggressive and try to make that maneuver in the pits. Wait. I think I think we were there a while ago and we passed that point, that's the point of no return, uh, yeah, this BMW is still driving, uh, it's surprising that the other one. with the other tires holding on on that front, I don't know how he missed it, but at least he did and again the California Highway Patrol, right in this queue, had to slow down probably due to some safety concerns.

Oh, it hit a cone. Hit a cone, uh, that definitely means some construction is coming up. I wonder if the emergency lane could be closed here, if that could create more problems for that driver, but right now I'm hopeful. he just pulls off the freeway, the CHP can do that pit maneuver and everyone can go home happy, here we go again, he might be able to do that, eh, see it, as long as he's close to those other vehicles, They won't be able to do it. do it because you don't want that vehicle to turn into someone else's car or property, so right now the older BMW 7 Series is going 63 miles per hour in that emergency lane, the California Highway Patrol right behind them , look at all that smoke coming out of the bottom.

It has to hit the bottom. It has to hit the bottom. All that heat is being created. There has to be some oil. I'm surprised something hasn't caught fire because already under that car he opened the sunroof, but there's a lot more smoke coming out of the bottom of the car, hopefully that thing is going to work, maybe maybe it's starting to get smoke inside the car. car, that could also be because of everything, something is definitely changing right there, something is definitely changing here we go here we go here we go here we go oh oh oh okay and the doors open is he really going to try to run away oh that's what he is doing CHP okay Jesus guys, two people inside asked us the police asked us to keep an eye on the passenger, uh, so we?

Let's keep an eye on this guybest we can while California Iowa patrols. If I can keep an eye on them both, I definitely will, but they usually split up there, I took the highway to the other side of the highway. Jeff, we gotta get up, we gotta get to the uh, yeah, we got to get to the uh, yeah, we're moving, we're moving. Sky Fox as best we can, we'll keep an eye on them, um, to escape. I hope they don't try to kidnap anyone, that's what worries me, you know, there he goes, that's the driver, I don't know what happened to the other guy that he's definitely trying to catch. someone who is oh they're both there they're both there and there we go oh there are law enforcement officers hello it looks like he has some kind of hand injury it looks like he hurt his hand somehow yes definitely definitely that was a That was definitely a Hunt , I'm just going a little wider.

I wanted to see where the car was, but here we are. My pilot has been stretching it here at Skyfox. We definitely needed fuel at eight o'clock, so. although we are definitely in our reserves, we have them both in custody, the dog didn't get to play, but uh, but we have them both in custody, no one was seriously hurt, that's huge too, but what a chase this morning, wow, yeah , we have to go. we have to go we have to go thank you guys oh ah
