A man and a woman were detained Sunday night by Whittier police after leading authorities on an hours-long vehicle chase that began in Laguna Beach.
The car pursuit came to an end near the intersection of Glengary Avenue and Whittier Boulevard around 6:45 p.m. Sunday.
The suspects exited the sedan and were detained nearby at the Travel Inn, according to Whittier police Lt. Sam Reed and a videographer at the scene.
Although it was initially reported as a kidnapping, Reed said that was not the case.
“There was no kidnapping,” Reed said. The man detained had a $10,000 misdemeanor warrant for his arrest, which had originated in Indiana for allegedly contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Detectives from Laguna Beach were en route to Whittier to arrest the two people, Reed said.
The relationship of the man and the woman was not disclosed.
