QUESTION: What was up in Harbor City -- and more
QUESTION: There was a lot of commotion near 255th Street and Bellporte (Sunday) morning. I had a scanner on and heard 5 suspects were in custody and the driver was outstanding. Torrance PD also called for back up with Redondo Beach. They also had police dogs etc. Do you know what happened? Thanks
ANSWER: The commotion was at the end of a pursuit from The National Sports Grill parking lot on Sepulveda Boulevard in Torrance to 255th Street and President Avenue in Harbor City.
The chase followed a 12:15 a.m. report that the driver struck a pedestrian in the restaurant's lot and took off. Along the way, he struck another vehicle, Torrance police Sgt Bernard Anderson said.
Police detained five people in the car, but the driver took off. Officers searched but could not locate him.
The person struck was not seriously hurt.
And P.S. If you wondered what the helicopter was doing over the south area of San Pedro this morning, it wasn't anything too major. They were looking for a tagger, who managed to slip out of sight.
