CHP Uses Two PIT Maneuvers to Stop San Fernando Valley Pursuit

Conflicting same-day reports from the Valley describe separate chases that ended in arrests.

Overview

  • A late-night chase in Tarzana ended just after 11:10 p.m. when CHP executed two PIT maneuvers, prompting a foot chase in which three people were detained.
  • Authorities said the suspects in the Tarzana incident had been speeding and running red lights before the pursuit.
  • In a separate late-morning incident, CHP took over a 101 Freeway pursuit in Tarzana that exited at Balboa Boulevard, moved onto Burbank Boulevard, and veered into the Sepulveda Basin area.
  • The driver and passenger in the late-morning case abandoned a Honda Civic near tall brush and were arrested after a brief foot chase.
  • CHP also reported a brief 10-minute pursuit on the northbound 405 in West Los Angeles over a cell phone violation that ended with the driver pulling over, as the agency emphasized its Thanksgiving enforcement period.
