The brief pursuit began about 9:40 a.m. near the 3800 block of Edgehill Drive, the Los Angeles Police Department reported.

The suspect driver stopped the vehicle a few blocks away, and the suspects got out and ran. Three were quickly taken into custody.

The fourth suspect crawled under the SUV, but a news crew in a helicopter broadcast his attempt to hide and he was quickly taken into custody by officers directed to the location.
