Two people were arrested Friday, Feb. 20 after they allegedlyt broke into a commercial truck while it was stopped at an intersection in Chino.
Officers responded after the commercial truck driver reported a theft while stopped at a red light, according to the Chino Police Department. The driver told police that two vehicles positioned themselves in front of and behind his truck before suspects exited, cut the trailer lock and removed computer equipment from the trailer.
Video released by the department shows the two vehicles boxing in the truck at the intersection. The car in front of the rig stops short of the intersection and remains stopped even after the traffic signal changes, while a van pulls closely behind the truck.
The video then shows at least two suspects getting out of the vehicles and moving toward the back of the trailer. The truck driver exits the cab and runs toward them, prompting one person to flee on foot as the vehicle in front of the truck drives away. The van behind the truck then speeds off, police said.
With assistance from a witness and the department’s Real-Time Crime Center, officers tracked the fleeing van as it entered the westbound 60 Freeway, police said.
“During a search of the vehicle, officers located burglary tools and recovered the stolen property, valued at approximately $7,000, which was returned to the company,” the department said in a statement.
The two people arrested were identified as residents of Los Angeles and Cudahy. No further information on the individuals was immediately available.
