Authorities arrested a woman who led police on a chase in a stolen Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department patrol SUV Monday afternoon.

The chase began about 1:30 p.m. and continued onto the eastbound Artesia (91) Freeway and into Orange County.

At about 2 p.m., the suspect exited the freeway in the Fullerton area, and headed onto surface streets, trailed by law enforcement vehicles. The suspect drove through an industrial area and briefly stopped, but then sped away again. 

Authorities say the car was stolen during a traffic stop in the Compton area.

The pursuit ended in Anaheim around 2 p.m. where the suspect in the stolen cruiser was cornered by other police vehicles and taken into custody.
