 Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor ARCADIA - Another day, another thief was followed with the help of a GPS tracker after the suspect took a package Tuesday morning. The suspect took a package from the area of Huntington Drive and Michillinda Avenue just before 1:30 a.m. April 23. The suspect refused to stop for officers once found and evaded them, according to the Arcadia Police Department. The suspect in a grey 2015 four-door Kia Optima fled from officers at high speed, sometimes reaching 90 miles per hour on surface streets, according to Arcadia Police radio traffic.
Due to the unsafe speed, officers cancelled the pursuit near Rosemead Boulevard and Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena, Arcadia Police said. When the GPS tracker became stationary, officers found the abandoned suspect vehicle near Del Mar Boulevard and Craig Avenue in Pasadena, Arcadia Police said. The vehicle was actually located in the 2100 block of San Pasqual Street. The stolen package was recovered and the suspect outstanding.

Sergio Regalado, 25, was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence with prior convictions and felony evading officers, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Temple Station. Pasadena Police attempted to stop Regalado around 9:13 p.m. after a Good Samaritan followed him from the 110 freeway to Pasadena city streets. Regalado sped away from officers. Due to his erratic driving, a helicopter tracked his movements, Pasadena Police said. Sheriff’s deputies began pursuing Regalado as he entered their jurisdiction. Deputies followed Regalado from Old Ranch and Huntington Drive as he nearly hit pedestrians, ran red lights and sped along city streets. The pursuit went into San Gabriel where Regalado almost got caught in a cul-de-sac, but he wormed his way past deputies to keep the pursuit alive. Regalado crashed into two civilian vehicles at Huntington Drive and Baldwin Avenue in Arcadia. One of the civilian vehicles flipped and came to rest on its side. Both Regalado and a driver in one of the other vehicles were both briefly hospitalized.  PHOTO/Stock image.
