Two suspects sparked a dramatic pursuit through Los Angeles on Sunday night, commandeering multiple vehicles, including a big rig, all captured on live TV before making their escape.
The strange pursuit began with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department following the suspects, who were in a dark-colored pickup truck thought to be stolen.
Eventually, the pickup truck halted, and the suspects unsuccessfully attempted to break into two other vehicles before seizing a white big rig and fleeing along Interstate 5.

According to FOX 11, the chase traversed areas including Sylmar, Santa Clarita, North Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Echo Park, downtown Los Angeles, Westlake, and Boyle Heights.
After about an hour, the suspects appear to have fled on foot. As of early Monday, no arrests had been made. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and California Highway Patrol for comment.
