LONG BEACH, CA (MAY 14, 2023) – Anthony Ramirez was arrested after a stolen vehicle pursuit ended in a crash in Long Beach Saturday morning on May 6.
 
Around 7:10 a.m., Seal Beach police were sent to the area of First Street and Pacific Coast Highway in response to an automated license plate reader notifying officers of a stolen van.

During the pursuit that lasted roughly 10 minutes, an officer utilized the PIT maneuver in the area of northbound 405 Freeway transition to the southbound 710 Freeway. This caused the van to overturn and become disabled down an embankment.
