CITY: Whittier
DETAILS:

WHITTIER (CNS) – A man and a woman were detained tonight by Whittier
police after leading authorities on an hours long vehicle chase that began in
Laguna Beach.
The car pursuit came to an end near the intersection of Glengarry
Avenue and Whittier Boulevard around 6:45 p.m. Sunday, about 15 minutes after
KCAL9’s broadcast coverage of it concluded because its helicopter had to
refuel. The suspects exited the sedan and were detained nearby at the Travel
Inn, according to Whittier police Lt. Sam Reed and a videographer at the scene.
Although it was initially reported as a kidnapping, Reed said that the
report was false.
“There was no kidnapping,” Reed said. The man detained had a $10,000
misdemeanor warrant for his arrest, which had originated in Indiana for
allegedly contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Detectives from Laguna Beach were en route to Whittier to arrest the
two people, Reed said.
The relationship of the man and the woman was not disclosed.
