The California Highway Patrol was involved in a hour-long pursuit Friday evening of a van traveling at a high rate of speed on freeways and surface streets in the San Fernando Valley.

The chase began just after 4:30 p.m. in Chino, according to the Lt. Covington with the Chino Police Department.

Police had received a call from a Kohls Department store on Grand Avenue regarding a possible forgery, Covington said.

By the time officers arrived, the alleged suspect was fleeing and a pursuit was initiated, according to police.
