CHP pursuit through downtown Los Angeles ends with 190 pound meth bust

A brief high-speed California Highway Patrol pursuit through downtown Los Angeles Monday morning ended with a 190-pound meth bust and the driver in custody.

The 10-minute pursuit began as a traffic stop for the Ford F-150's tinted windows in the area of Mateo and Alameda streets. 

The driver of the truck did not stop and led officers on a pursuit, which ended at Figueroa and Second streets near the 110 Freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol.

When the truck came to a stop, officers arrested the driver and pulled plastic bins filled with vacuum-sealed packets of white powder from the truck.

The station later reported that 190 pounds of methamphetamine, with a $3.4 million street value, were found in the truck, along with a large amount of cash. The driver was arrested for transporting drugs with the intent to sell.
