Pursuit of alleged burglar ends with crash in South Los Angeles

An alleged burglar was taken into police custody in South Los Angeles late Tuesday morning after their getaway attempt ended in a crash with a parked car.

The pursuit began as a reported burglary near Jefferson Boulevard and La Brea Avenue in West Adams just after 10:45 a.m., the Los Angeles Police Department said.


About half an hour later, the vehicle crashed near 99th and Main streets in the Broadway-Manchester area of South Los Angeles.

Aerial footage from Sky5 showed major front-end damage to the vehicle, a dark-colored Tesla, and a damaged SUV parked on the roadside.

Police remained in the area, apparently pursuing at least one other person after the crash.
