A suspect who allegedly was armed with an assault-style rifle when he carjacked a car from a North Hills auto dealership was taken into custody Wednesday night after a high-speed chase from the San Fernando Valley to Bel-Air.
The carjacking was reported about 8:35 p.m. at a dealership in the 15400 block of Roscoe Boulevard, near Sepulveda Boulevard, according to Officer Norma Eisenman of the Los Angeles Police Department's Media Relations Section.
The suspect ran red lights and weaved through oncoming traffic on Ventura Boulevard and other streets before heading south on Sepulveda Boulevard, through the pass and into Bel-Air, where the car clipped a police vehicle and soon after slowed to a stop in the 900 block of Moraga Drive.
The suspect eventually got out of the vehicle and officers took him into custody.
