Police captured a car-chase suspect in the parking structure of an upscale Glendale shopping and residential center, but stores remained on lockdown Monday afternoon as detectives gathered evidence.
The suspect fled from the car after a police car chase and hid inside the Americana at Brand mall garage for about two hours as police searched for him. The man was one of three
suspects who allegedly robbed a liquor store in the 2000 block of
Glenoaks Avenue in Burbank shortly before 11 a.m.
Burbank police picked up the pursuit a short time later and followed
their car into neighboring Glendale. The suspects’ car crashed near the
Americana shopping and residential development, and two
suspects were immediately apprehended at the scene.
The suspect, who police said was armed with a handgun, eluded the
tackle of one officer and then slid across the hood of a patrol
vehicle to get away from another officer. He then sprinted down the street,
pulling away from pursuing officers.
The suspect was found by Glendale police and turned over to police in Burbank, where the chase began.
