The other night at around 11:30PM, Westminster Police Officers responded to a commercial burglary alarm at the 14100 block of Willow Lane.
When the police officers arrived, a vehicle fled the area at a high rate of speed and a pursuit was initiated. The driver pulled over in the area of Hoover St. and Cobblestone Ave. and thought it would be a good idea to run away. That turned out not to be a good idea at all.
Several local police agencies including the Huntington Beach Police Department, Garden Grove Police Department, Anaheim Police Department, and Tustin Police Department, helped to set up a perimeter and the suspect was found hiding inside a trashcan.
A search of the suspect’s vehicle revealed a BB gun that resembled an assault rifle.
The suspect is now enjoying free room and board in jail.
