Los Angeles police chase a stolen vehicle suspect

Los Angeles police were chasing a stolen vehicle in the San Gabriel Valley.

The Los Angeles Police Department initiated the pursuit but gave it up as it got farther away from the city. 

The California Highway Patrol re-engaged the suspect while he was on the I-10 westbound near El Monte.

The department gave up the chase after the suspects exited the I-10 Freeway and onto the congested surface streets in downtown Los Angeles. 

Without any CHP officers chasing after them, the suspects parked their car at the corner of Central Avenue and Olympic Boulevard and jumped out with a dog. 

Shortly after, officers tracked at least one of the pursuit suspects down and detained her. 

The second suspect continued to evade police by casually walking down the road until officers recognized her at a nearby parking lot.
