Suspect Still on the Loose After High Speed Chase Ends

Multiple officers fired their guns early Thursday after three robbery suspects led them on a high-speed pursuit in Orange County.

The shooting took place around 2:30 a.m. near the intersection of Lampson Avenue and West 8th Street in Orange County, where the pursuit ended after the truck crashed into a parked car and a pole, according to police.

No one was hit in the gunfire, said Anthony Bertagna of the Santa Ana Police Department.

Police arrested two men, both in their 20s, on suspicion of robbing and kidnapping a 34-year-old man. A third suspect who exited the vehicle during the pursuit still has not been found, officials said.

The victim pulled his vehicle over around 1:30 a.m. outside Taqueria De Anda restaurant after experiencing car problems, officials said. He had recently taken out hundreds of dollars from an ATM, police said.

One of the suspects entered the victim’s vehicle, pointed a weapon at him and told him to follow a nearby black Toyota pickup, police said. The pickup led the victim and suspect to the 3500 block of West Boyer Avenue where two other suspects from the pickup took money from the victim. The suspects also took more cash from the victim’s console and his keys.
