Thursday afternoon, five juveniles fled officers in a stolen vehicle and then attempted to hide in a residential area of Hawthorne.
According to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Sanchez, the incident began around 12:20 p.m.
The vehicle, which appeared to be a gray small SUV, perhaps a Kia Soul, traveled on the 110 and 405 freeways at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour, something made possible by the reduced traffic of the July 4 holiday.
Just before 1 p.m., the driver pulled off the freeway in Hawthorne and entered a residential area, at which point five people hopped out of the SUV and scattered.
