What started as police spotting a suspicious vehicle in Ventura County turned into a chase that ended in downtown Los Angeles.
Just before midnight on Monday in Simi Valley, an officer tried to stop a car near Tapo Canyon Road. But the driver didn’t stop, leading to a chase that went from Simi Valley through the San Fernando Valley and ended on the streets of downtown LA.
When the driver finally stopped, he tried to flee on foot.
However, officers quickly arrested 18-year-old Abisai Rodriguez. They say his car contained tools used to steal catalytic converters from vehicles.
Rodriguez was arrested on multiple charges, including felony evading of a police officer.
