INDUSTRY - The driver of a vehicle that crashed at the end of a short-lived pursuit was taken into custody late Monday night, a Sheriff’s sergeant said.

The driver is accused of burglarizing a sushi restaurant in Walnut at 316 N. Lemon Ave. around 10:40 p.m., according to Sgt. Davis of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Walnut/Diamond Bar Station.

The unidentified driver was one of multiple suspects who evaded the Industry station deputies pursuing them, according to Sgt. Itani of the Sheriff’s Industry Station.

The pursuit began at the 60 freeway at Crossroads Parkway, Itani told SGV CityWatch.

The pursuit driver crashed in the area of East Temple Avenue and Puente Avenue in La Puente around 11:05 p.m.

It was unclear to Davis what may have been taken in the burglary. The owner was not available at the time to determine if anything was taken.
