An 18-year-old suspect was arrested after leading officers on a high-speed chase through Simi Valley.
The suspect was identified as Gavin Sheets, 18, according to the Simi Valley Police Department.
On July 5, police attempted to pull Sheets over on suspicion of being involved in street racing. The teen refused to stop, leading officers on a pursuit.
He entered the eastbound lanes of the 118 Freeway from Madera Road and reached speeds of up to 115 miles per hour, police said.
California Highway Patrol officers took over the chase and continued following Sheets as he drove dangerously through highway lanes. At some point, CHP lost visual of the suspect who eventually escaped.
After an investigation, police obtained a license plate number and identified Sheets as the alleged driver. Sheets was taken into custody at his Simi Valley home.
He was arrested on charges of reckless evading and speed contest.
