Police stated that they caught the 34-year-old Ventura inhabitant in the 4700 block of Nielsen Street, located southeast of Camilo Real Park, following a short chase that started close to Balboa Middle School. The individual reportedly escaped on a bike but crashed into a patrol car which officers had employed to obstruct him.
