US EditionPolice chase allegedly stolen big rig from Fontana to Buena Park
Police used an armored BearCat vehicle to stop a stolen big rig after a multi-county pursuit involving a possible kidnapping and two suspects with outstanding warrants.
- On Wednesday morning, police chased a suspected stolen tractor-trailer carrying two men from Fontana to Buena Park, ending the pursuit near 11 a.m.
- The pursuit began around 9:30 a.m. after officers noticed the truck was displaying a license plate that didn’t correspond to the vehicle, and they received a 911 call reporting a passenger trapped inside.
- An armored police BearCat vehicle broadsided the big rig in an apparent PIT maneuver to stop it, while unmarked and tactical SUVs boxed it in near Beach Boulevard and Franklin Street.
- The driver, identified as Bill Fayed from Buena Park, exited with hands up, with the passenger also surrendering, after the truck was cornered and the chase broadcast live on KTLA.
- Authorities remain unclear if the passenger was kidnapped, and the use of the armored vehicle highlighted additional risks involved in chasing large vehicles like big rigs.
