Burglary Suspects Lead L.A. Police on an Insane Car Chase, Do Donuts
Two burglary suspects led L.A. police in a wild car chase through Hollywood earlier this afternoon. Not only was it a long chase, but the getaway vehicle actually did donuts while fleeing.
No, seriously.
NBC LA caught video of the car actually doing donuts:
CBS LA caught some pretty close-up video of the car speeding by and the police in hot pursuit:

According to the L.A. Times, the car took off in the first place after someone reported the burglary. The car passenger appeared to be dancing a bit and fist-pumping during the chase.
There was one pretty amazing moment where––I’m not kidding––a TMZ tour bus actually blocked the car for a bit from actually going anywhere:

The suspects finally pulled over the car, and you’ll probably be surprised at what they did next:
