Driver and passenger hide in Koreatown high-rise apartment after chase

A driver and passenger ditched a stolen pickup and ran inside a Koreatown apartment complex early Friday morning at the end of a Los Angeles pursuit.

The chase began after police attempted to pull over a driver suspected of DUI near Normandie Avenue and Beverly Boulevard. The man and woman ditched pickup on a curb at the driveway entrance to the Ambassador Towers high-rise apartment on Irolo Street near Wilshire Boulevard.

Officers, including a K-9 team, searched multiple floors of the building and found the man and woman on the 12th and 6th floors. The man was found inside a vacant apartment unit. Details about the woman’s location were not immediately available.

Police said the pickup, registered in the San Diego area, was reported stolen in August.
