When people usually hear the words "police chase", they often picture typical American news scenes: a helicopter filming a speeding getaway car, followed by a long line of police vehicles. After a while, either the suspect crashes and stops, or the police manage to intercept and stop the vehicle. The process almost always ends with a satisfactory conclusion. Today's story from abroad is similar, but with a surprising twist during the suspect's escape: the car window suddenly opened and the suspect threw out a bag containing a dog.
On April 7th, around noon in southeastern Los Angeles, a dramatic police chase unfolded that felt like something out of a Grand Theft Auto game. The police were pursuing a group of suspects wanted for attempted murder. The target vehicle was a Chevrolet, and both sides kept accelerating as the chase went on. The car sped through many areas at very high speeds. During the pursuit, the cameras filming the chase noticed something unusual: the suspect's car window suddenly opened, and a package bag was thrown out onto the roadside.
The police immediately picked up the bag, suspecting it could be evidence related to the crime. The pursuit continued, and at one point, the police fired shots to disable the suspect's right front tire. Eventually, the suspects had to abandon the car and flee on foot. In the end, all three suspects were arrested. The 27-year-old ringleader was charged with attempted murder and carjacking, while the others were charged with fleeing from the police.
After the situation was safely resolved, the police recalled the package that had been thrown out. It was a dark brown designer handbag. After confirming it was not an explosive device, they opened it and found not drugs or weapons, but a sleeping puppy inside.
The puppy, about eight weeks old, was a mixed breed with heterochromia-one blue eye and one brown eye. Remarkably, the dog was completely unharmed despite being thrown out of the moving car. At the police station, the puppy was calm but seemed confused, as if wondering, "Who am I? Where am I? Where are you taking me?"
The police said they do not know why the suspects abandoned the dog during their escape, but fortunately, the puppy was safe. It was handed over to the local animal services center, where it is currently being cared for. The puppy is still considered evidence in the ongoing investigation. Once the court proceedings conclude, the dog will be available for adoption. Authorities are also investigating the suspects for animal abandonment, and harsher penalties may be applied for this offense.
Many netizens followed the live news broadcast and noticed the bag being thrown out, but no one expected there to be a dog inside. Some viewers expressed anger, saying they wished the suspects could experience what the dog went through by being thrown out of a moving car. Others suggested that once the puppy was safely in police custody, the officers should be free to shoot at the suspects.
