Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies arrest alleged carjacking suspect after pursuit
Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department arrested a suspect allegedly wanted for carjacking after a pursuit in Compton Monday morning.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in East LA began pursuing the vehicle after running a license plate that came back to an alleged carjacking suspect. The driver took off and deputies initiated a pursuit.
East LA sheriffs canceled the pursuit, and the California Highway Patrol picked it up and were joined by deputies from the Compton station.
Three suspects abandoned the vehicle in a residential area. SkyCal flew over the scene where one man could be seen allegedly breaking into a home on 138th Street. The man ran through several backyards, climbing over multiple fences before running under a tent in a driveway.
The man was taken into custody around 11:49 a.m. It is unclear whether the two other suspects were also detained.
