Los Angeles Police Department investigators are seeking help from the public in locating a grand theft auto suspect who led them on a pursuit through downtown Los Angeles before successfully fleeing on foot back in August.
According to a statement released by the department, officers were patrolling near 5th Street and San Julian Street at around 1:50 a.m. on August 13, when they spotted a stolen 2006 Chevy Silverado truck. They followed the car to an area near 8th Street and Olive Street where they called for additional officers to respond to the area as they still.
After chasing him through several downtown streets, the suspect was able to briefly avoid the officers just long enough to abandon the truck in the 600 block of Lebanon Street, at which point he fled from the car on foot. Officers located the vehicle with the help of a department helicopter, but were unable to find the suspect. Surveillance footage obtained by investigators shows the suspect, still unidentified, hiding in a local shopping center.
