HPD Pursuit

On 9-20-2012 at about 1:54am, a Hemet Police Officer witnessed a white Toyota pick-up truck run a stop sign at Latham Avenue and Juanita Street at about 50 miles per hour. The officer caught up with the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop near Taylor Street and Oakland Avenue.

The driver refused to stop and accelerated away, driving east on Oakland Avenue. A pursuit was initiated and, due to the time, traffic was minimal.
