A stolen car suspect is in custody Friday after leading police on a 30-plus mile chase that began in Ventura County and ended in Sherman Oaks.
The chase began in the Moorpark area Thursday evening, with the woman then driving the Subaru east on the Ventura (101) Freeway through several San Fernando Valley communities including Tarzana, Encino and Sherman Oaks.
When the suspect exited the freeway in Sherman Oaks, a California Highway Patrol unit employed a PIT maneuver to slow and turn the vehicle around.
The woman exited the Subaru a little after 10 p.m. and initially refused commands by officers to surrender. A K-9 unit then attacked the suspect, with a dog ripping her sweater before officers took the woman into custody.
