High-speed motorcycle pursuit winds through LA

A dangerous, high-speed motorcycle pursuit that reached speeds well above 100 miles per hour wound its way through Los Angeles and Orange Counties Friday morning before the suspect was finally captured at a gas station.

The pursuit began at 9:09 a.m. on the northbound 405 Freeway near Carson, according to California Highway Patrol.

It made its way into Santa Monica, then across to East Los Angeles and then south on the 5 Freeway into Orange County. The suspect then got off the freeway and traversed surface streets in Garden Grove.  

The suspect eventually pulled into a 7-Eleven gas station at McPherson Road and Chapman Avenue in the city of Orange to try and refuel, but was captured and arrested at gunpoint by a CHP officer. 

It's unclear what prompted the chase, or whether the motorcycle was reported stolen. The suspect was not immediately identified.
