Two people were arrested after leading the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department on a brief high-speed chase through Norwalk Tuesday morning.

The pursuit started around 10 a.m. at the intersection of Santa Gertrudes Ave and Rosecrans Ave in La Mirada after the suspect allegedly stole a black Ford Crown Victoria out of Long Beach.

The suspect started driving down the northbound 5 Freeway before exiting onto surface streets. SkyCAL flew over the scene and could see the driving up to 70 mph, running stop signs and driving on the wrong side of the street.
