A chase that began in South Gate after a report of a stolen vehicle ended about an hour later Tuesday morning in the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area east of Los Angeles.
The driver of the stolen Kia Soul made a stop in a Walmart parking lot, where he tried to enter the closed store. Video from NewsChopper4 showed the man struggling to open the sliding doors of the store before returning to the car.
After backing out of the parking space, the driver continued in reverse with a sheriff’s department SUV in front of the Soul. The driver eventually turned around back onto the street before coming to a stop at a dead-end in the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area.
He was taken into custody after a brief standoff.
