Women lead police on wild chase, causing numerous crashes
Two women in a stolen sport utility vehicle led police on a wild chase through the streets of Southeast Los Angeles, clipping at least six cars, driving on the wrong side of the road and narrowly missing pedestrians.
The chase began shortly after 10 a.m. in Long Beach and quickly moved into Los Angeles. There, officers from the 77th Street Division joined the chase, an LAPD spokesperson said. The chase went through South Gate, Lynwood, Compton, Long Beach and Lakewood. At one point in Bixby Knolls on Del Amo Boulevard, the SUV's front bumper fell off.
The chase ended about 10:50 a.m. when the SUV spun around and came to a stop at an intersection in Lakewood. The driver and passenger surrendered and were arrested.
Their identities were not immediately available. Police believe the SUV was stolen in Long Beach.
The LAPD, L.A. County Sheriff's Department, Long Beach police and California Highway Patrol took part in the chase, officials said.

It is about time that law enforcement consider using automatic firearms to terminate these criminal vermin who pose an immediate risk to innocent pedestrians and drivers. If there is a concern about shooting innocent passerby, they should use 12 guage shotgus or cyanide bullets.

@The Sneaker
yes, because ALL of the idiotic high pursuit car chases you hear about are caused by women.

NOT being from Beverly Hills nor Malibu, I suspect these two will have the BOOK thrown at them....NO pleading, NO counseling, NO rehab.....clearly, our Gollywierd stars of privilege, need to open some for-profit Education Labs, to advise these crackheads how to win the Judges' blessing, like a Gollywierd star.

Their identities were not immediately available. A spokesman for the LA Zoo said that they looked familiar but that a DNA test would be necessary to determine if these two, are in fact, escapees.
