(July 23, 2014) -- Following up on a story LBREPORT.com reported on our front page basically as it was happening happening this morning (July 23), the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. Lakewood station says two stolen vehicle suspects -- both men (adults) [cities of residence not immediately available] -- are in custody after a Sheriff undercover deputy spotted them in the area of the Lakewood Mall at about 7:45 a.m. and followed them (not high speed pursuit) to the ELB area of Conant/Hackett.

Although the undercover deputy may not have been in a high speed pursuit (simply followed the suspects), residents of the area that when LASD units responded, they did so at high speed.

The white van is the vehicle allegedly stolen by the suspects. View below is in an alley in the area of Conant/Palo Verde/Hackett.

There was activity in the air as well as on the ground. Photographer Charlie McGrail says the LASD helicopter was at some points flying VERY low.
