A Los Angeles Police Department patrol car smashed into the side of a Bobo’s Hamburgers in South Gate on Sunday morning after burglary suspects led officers on a chaotic chase.
According to LAPD, officers began following two suspected burglars near Santa Fe Avenue and Slauson Avenue around 7:15 a.m. The suspects, who police said may have been armed, led officers on a pursuit in a gray sedan.
During the chase, there was an officer-involved traffic collision at the intersection of Firestone Boulevard and Santa Fe Avenue. Images from Citizen.com show a patrol SUV sitting through the window of Bobo’s Hamburgers, with multiple police units at the scene and caution tape blocking off the restaurant.
While the burglary suspects ultimately escaped, the LAPD said officers arrested one woman on suspicion of grand theft auto during the incident, which seemed to be unrelated to the burglary suspects. It was not immediately clear if the woman was involved in the collision.
The GTA suspect was not identified, and no injuries were initially reported.
No further details have been released as the investigation continues.
