Police pursuit involved stolen car with 'We support our local police' written on back window

The driver of a stolen car in California with "We Support Our Local Police Dept." written on its back window did his best to evade Buena Park and Anaheim patrol officers while speeding through local streets on Friday afternoon.



At around 12:40pm, Buena Park police spotted a black Toyota Corolla that had been reported stolen in the Buena Park Hotel and Suites. Patrol officers waited for a man to get in the car with three passengers, at least one of whom was a woman, before they tried to pull over the unidenitifed driver, Buena Park police Lt. Rich Forsyth said.

The driver refused to pull over and started a chase from Buena Park to streets near Disneyland, sometimes travelling on the wrong side of the road and through red lights, authorities said. A patrol officer tried to stop the speeding driver several times using a PIT manouever but failed. Shortly after 1pm, the driver cut through a shopping centre in Anaheim and crashed into several shopping carts.



He then bailed from the car and quickly surrendered by dropping to his knees and placing his hands behind his back. The three passengers placed their hands outside the car at the time of surrender, and all four were taken into custody. The driver was arrested on suspicion of grand theft auto and felony evading.
