Police chase: CHP in pursuit of suspected stolen car in Orange County

Authorities were in pursuit of a suspected stolen car in the Orange County area Thursday.

A man was arrested Thursday after leading authorities on a pursuit in a stolen minivan in the Orange County area.

According to California Highway Patrol, the minivan belonging to "Fit For Life 1," a weight management program out of South Gate, was stolen from an auto repair shop in the 100 block of East Adams Boulevard around 8:15 a.m.

The suspect eventually made it onto the 405 Freeway, where Los Angeles Police Department officers began chasing the gray Honda Odyssey.

The chase was then turned over to the California Highway Patrol. Officers followed the van on the southbound 405 Freeway into Orange County, and then onto the southbound 5 Freeway and into San Diego County.

SkyFOX was overhead until the minivan entered the Camp Pendleton area, which is restricted airspace and thus prevented SkyFOX from following any further.

The manager for Fit for Life 1 told FOX 11 they do not know the suspect.
