Right here’s one thing you don’t see on a regular basis. Los Angeles’ ABC 7 experiences that an unknown driver led authorities on a chase, Wednedsay, in a Rolls-Royce.

The chase began someday earlier than 11:30 am August 23. California Freeway Patrol started chasing what seems to be a Rolls-Royce Phantom on the westbound 210 Freeway by way of the town of Arcadia. Not lengthy after, the Rolls entered L.A. metropolis limits, the place the LAPD was then concerned.

As aerial protection of the chase unfolded (see above) the unknown driver maneuvered the massive luxurious automobile by way of the streets of downtown LA. Nevertheless simply two minutes into aerial protection of the chase, authorities and the brand new helicopter overpassed the Phantom. The motive force skillfully — and I solely say skillfully as a result of it takes some actual talent to drive one thing almost 19-feet lengthy to get away from the cops— whips the Phantom right into a parking storage and apparently bails.

Police circled the parking storage on the lookout for the suspect, however whoever they have been, they’re gone. ABC 7 says that authorities have been instructed to face down however a CHP chopper stayed over the scene simply in case the suspect got here out of hiding. Police say that the Rolls-Royce had been stolen earlier within the day. The unknown proprietor was conscious of the theft and was monitoring the state of affairs. Apparently he was monitoring the car and had provided that monitoring data to CHP so they might discover his automobile.

Whereas I don’t condone any form of crime or stealing, somebody having the audacity and talent to steal one thing like a Rolls-Royce Phantom and get away from the cops have to be a profession felony. However stealing one thing like that additionally makes you an enormous goal. Whoever the thief is shouldn’t anticipate to remain free for for much longer.
