A Lululemon smash and grab suspect led California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers on a high-speed pursuit Tuesday afternoon, which began in Valencia.
Around 12 p.m. Tuesday, undercover CHP units assigned to the retail task force were monitoring the Lululemon store in Studio City, said Officer Josh Greengard, spokesperson for the CHP Newhall Area Office.
“The Lululemon store had a smash and grab theft occur,” Greengard said.
Undercover units followed the suspects and watched them get into a silver VW Jetta, according to Greengard.
“Newhall Units were able to locate the vehicle on the northbound I-5 around Magic Mountain Parkway,” Greengard said. “We attempted to pull the vehicle over and a pursuit was initiated.”
The vehicle briefly yielded, then sped off, hitting speeds of up to 125 mph, according to officials.
As of 12:30 p.m. the pursuit was going into the CHP Fort Tejon Area, according to Greengard.

This story makes no sense. The task force was monitoring a Lululemon in “Studio City”? Then a smash and grab took place at the Lululemon and the units “watched” the suspects get into their car??? Then they “located” the vehicle on the 5 freeway? So the suspects haven’t been caught after all that monitoring, watching, and locating?
They are saving effort and reducing pursuits. It is just catch and release these days anyway. Next, they will start ignoring dispatch calls, like LAPD.
Can any decent American imagine what LE goes through with what Gas-Con & the Liberals have done to neglecting the law!! All decent humans should be disgusted & outraged & demand/vote change!!
