During the investigation, witnesses in one of the burglaries reported seeing a suspect carrying the victim s property away from the scene, then drive off in a black Hyundai sedan.
Police located a vehicle matching that description pulling into a parking lot in the 2400 block of Del Monte Avenue.
Officers attempted to detain the vehicle and its driver, however the driver drove off, striking raised concrete parking curbs and sideswiping an unoccupied parked vehicle. A vehicle pursuit began, and police said the suspect entered Highway 1 north from Canyon Del Rey, traveling at speeds over 100 miles per hour.
Police lost sight of the vehicle, but the California Highway Patrol picked it up from there, only to discontinue the pursuit in the interest of public safety.
