Two burglary suspects in Los Angeles led police on a wild car chase in which the suspects did doughnuts and even stopped to pose for pictures.
On Thursday, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies responding to a burglary got the description of the suspect’s car, a blue Mustang convertible, from a neighbor, and a helicopter unit spotted the car driving away.

Authorities deployed a spike strip which appeared to cause some damage to a tire on the car before the driver continued onto the freeway, maneuvering around a TMZ tour bus that tried to block their path. The suspects also stopped during the chase to talk to a police officer picking up a spike strip that had not stopped them.
