California Highway Patrol officers deployed tire deflation devices near the Mollison Avenue exit as the vehicle left the freeway. The driver and passenger abandoned the moving vehicle and fled on foot. Officers arrested the driver, and the passenger was taken into custody a short time later with assistance from the ASTREA crew.
Both suspects were identified as juveniles from the Los Angeles area. They were arrested on suspicion of evading a peace officer with disregard for public safety, vehicle theft and possession of a stolen vehicle.
