Five people were arrested after two separate pursuits in Southern California, one of which ended with police recovering a machete and a wig from a stolen vehicle.
Police chased a small blue sedan that was reported stolen Friday night after the driver refused to stop in the Westlake area.
After the second successful maneuver, the driver got out of the car but still did not comply with officer commands. Moments later, a pit bull also got out of the vehicle. A woman in that car was taken into custody and the man was also cuffed. Officers then started to pull out several items, including what appeared to be a blonde wig and a large machete.
