A robbery suspect led officers on a pursuit from Los Angeles to San Bernardino County on Wednesday morning.

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department Wilshire Division were called to a home in the 600 block of North Sierra Bonita Avenue, located near Melrose and Fairfax avenues, at 7:40 a.m. 

Several items were stolen from the home, including the victims' BMW, Los Angeles police said. LAPD officers were able to track down the vehicle using a GPS tracking device.  Shortly after locating the stolen car, the suspect led officers on a dangerous high-speed pursuit, reaching speeds up to 140 mph.

California Highway Patrol took over the pursuit as the suspect crossed county lines.
