A driver who traveled at speeds of up to 120 mph on the 605 Freeway led police on a chase from Orange County to Whittier on Sunday.

Officers responded to what was initially thought to be a possible kidnapping report but was later clarified to be a report out of Indiana of a person wanted for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The report came out of Laguna Beach, according to law enforcement dispatch.

The driver traveled on streets and freeways in Cerritos, Long Beach, Paramount and Whittier, at times reaching speeds of 90 to even 120 mph on freeways and narrowly avoiding other drivers on streets. Ultimately, the driver stopped the vehicle near the intersection of Glengarry Avenue and See Drive in Whittier.

There, NewsChopper4 captured video of two people exiting the vehicle and entering what appeared to be a business through an open back door. Two people were detained shortly after.

Police did not disclose the names of the two individuals who were arrested. Details about the initial report that led to the chase were not immediately available.
