Decoy riders caught on camera joining California Highway Patrol dirt bike police chase in LA
The California Highway Patrol is currently on the lookout for two dirt bike riders who instigated a multi-city police chase on Thursday afternoon, which attracted more than a dozen other bikers to join in on the reckless escapade. According to affiliate FOX 11, the two initial suspects managed to rally up to twelve additional riders to participate in the pursuit that spanned across Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, Inglewood, Mid-City, and Pico Union.
The two primary suspects were described as riding white and purple dirt bikes while donning dark clothing. Subsequent riders who joined the chase followed suit by using bikes of the same colors and wearing similar clothing attire. Aerial cameras captured the group of bikers and ATV riders performing dangerous stunts like wheelies and making phone calls to recruit more riders while at times driving on the wrong side of the road.
Despite the efforts of law enforcement to apprehend the suspects, the chase continued for about thirty minutes before authorities decided to call off the pursuit. The specific charges that led to the initial chase were not disclosed to FOX 11 by officials.
It is worth noting that the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area have placed additional strain on first responders who are already grappling with the historic fires. In the midst of this crisis, Fox News Digital reported a series of unrelated crimes that occurred during and after the disaster.
As the search for the two dirt bike riders intensifies, the California Highway Patrol has yet to provide further details on the incident. Fox News Digital has reached out to the highway patrol for comment on the matter.
The daring actions of the dirt bike riders have not only put themselves at risk but also endangered the safety of others on the road. It is crucial for law enforcement to swiftly apprehend these individuals to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
