A pursuit involving what authorities described as a possible stolen tow truck began in Orange County around 1:00 a.m. on April 13 and traveled northbound on the I-5 through East Los Angeles into downtown, ending near Broadway and 8th Street when the vehicle stopped and the driver and a possible passenger fled on foot, according to OnScene.TV. The suspects were not immediately located.
Operator takeaway
A stolen tow truck on a freeway is a weapon with your company name on the side. Confirm your GPS kill-switch works, your key management is locked down, and your overnight yard security can stop this before it starts.
