Wednesday has led authorities on a pursuit across the region for more than two hours.
The suspect is in a heavy equipment vehicle and has driven through Chatsworth, Northridge, Canoga Park, Winnetka, Reseda, and Tarzana since the pursuit began just after 7 a.m. Signage on the driver's side door says the truck belongs to Atomic Concrete Pumping, a concrete contractor based in the Los Angeles area.
The company's owner told FOX 11 one of its employees was at the gas station filling up the tank when it was stolen.In the area near Sherman Way and Tampa Avenue in Northridge, a small blue car was seen slowly reversing into the stolen truck. That's when the truck pushes it out of the way, forcing it to hit an SUV next to it. The driver in that SUV then tries to pursue the stolen truck and at one point the two drivers are seen having a loud discussion and apparently yelling.
