Cops in Orange County got their exercise in to end the week — they had to chase down a handful of alleged juvenile delinquents accused of jacking a car … and the video’s wild.
Costa Mesa PD tells TMZ … officers came across a vehicle that had been reported stolen Friday in the middle of the day — and when they tried initiating a stop, we’re told the car didn’t come to a stop … so the police had to give chase.
We’re told there was a short pursuit, which ended with the subjects of the vehicle bailing on the car … and cops having to chase them down on foot — something captured on camera.
TMZ got a hold of the footage … and yeah, it’s pretty intense — you can see the whole thing.
Check out the clip … you can see what looks to be a few people taking off running through the road, where a ton of cars are stopped at a light … with what looks like a lot of police activity on the scene — including multiple cruisers and even helicopters in the sky too.
The cops that end up going after these people appear to have their weapons drawn — but luckily, no shots are fired … and in the end, it looks like they were able to nab the suspects.
