Torrance police arrested four carjacking suspects Tuesday after a 30-minute pursuit of a stolen sport utility vehicle, police said. No one was injured.
About 12:05 a.m., officers patrolling near Sepulveda Boulevard and Pennsylvania Avenue ran a check on a vehicle’s license plate and determined that it had been taken in a carjacking in Riverside County on Monday, said Torrance Police Lt. Paul Besse. He said the driver refused to stop, sparking a pursuit on surface streets to Palos Verdes Estates, Lomita and back to Torrance.
The police car hit the back of the vehicle at Sepulveda and Crenshaw boulevards, causing it to spin and stop. Police arrested four teenagers on suspicion of carjacking.
