Watch: Chase Driver Struggles Through Locked Doors at Rosemead Walmart

A chase that began in South Gate after a report of a stolen vehicle ended about an hour later Tuesday morning at the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area in East Los Angeles.

The driver of the stolen Kia Soul made a stop along the 15-mile route at a Walmart Supercenter parking lot in Rosemead, where he attempted to enter the locked store. NewsChopper4 video showed the man, carrying a backpack, struggling in an attempt to open the shop’s locked sliding doors before returning to the car.

After backing out of the parking space, the driver continued to back a sheriff’s department SUV in front of the Soul. The driver eventually turned around, collided with another patrol SUV and returned to the street.

The chase came to a halt at a cul-de-sac near the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area. Blocked by several sheriff’s department vehicles, the driver gave up after a brief standoff and was taken into custody.
