California Highway Patrol officers arrested a man driving a stolen Los Angeles Police Department car on Interstate 5 in San Juan Capistrano late Wednesday, officials said.<\/p>\n
LAPD officers initially responded to 38th and Figueroa streets, near BMO Stadium, after receiving reports that an LAPD patrol vehicle was stolen from a special event around 8 p.m., according to the department.<\/p>\n
The police car, a marked black-and-white Crown Victoria with a light bar, was reportedly stolen from that location roughly 10 minutes earlier and headed east on 27th Street toward Hope before entering the 110 Freeway.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the CHP Southern Division said its officers had been notified of the theft and were on the lookout.<\/p>\n
About 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, CHP officers in Orange County responded to a suspicious circumstances call reporting a police vehicle on I-5 near La Paz in Laguna Hills.<\/p>\n
CHP Capistrano area officers spotted the vehicle with its rear amber lights flashing and stopped the car near Ortega Highway, a CHP supervisor confirmed to NBC Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
The driver was detained by CHP officers and turned over to the LAPD, along with the stolen vehicle.<\/p>\n
The LAPD would handle the arrest of the alleged suspect, the CHP supervisor confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"California Highway Patrol officers arrested a man driving a stolen Los Angeles Police Department car on Interstate 5…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409213,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,5015,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-409212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-lapd","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
