Suspected car thieves attempted to hide at Disneyland

A pair of minors in a stolen vehicle led police on a chase through Orange County before eventually using a busy Disneyland parking structure to try and hide from officers Monday night.

Police received a call that Orange County sheriff’s deputies were in pursuit of the stolen vehicle out of San Juan Capistrano around 8 p.m., Sgt. Matt Sutter confirmed with KTLA.

During the pursuit, the black Chevrolet Camaro turned into the Pixar parking lot where the suspects, both minors, fled on foot so they could hide in the structure, Sutter said.

Police had to close the parking lot to the public as they searched for the juveniles.

Parking lot security cameras helped officers locate the two suspects, who were eventually taken into custody and handed over to the Sheriff’s Department, Sutter said.

No injuries or damage were reported as a result of the incident.

Sutter said the parking lot was operating normally again after about 30 minutes.
