Car Theft Suspect Arrested After Barricade Ends

ARLETA, Calif. (CBS) ― Police said the man wanted in connection with a stolen car that barricaded himself inside an Arleta home was taken into custody.

Oscar Orozco, 22, was arrested late Friday on Kewen Avenue near Debell Street, after giving police "two or three bogus names," a Los Angeles police officer at the Foothill Station said.

No one was injured in the series of crimes that started with a carjacking near Osborne Street and Telfair Avenue shortly before 8 p.m. Friday, Sgt. Rudy Alaniz said. The carjacker allegedly brandished a shotgun.

A police pursuit, monitored by a helicopter crew, led to a house on Kewen Avenue where Orozco barged in, Alaniz said. Two young people inside soon got out, but a young woman was trapped in a bathroom, according to authorities.

The woman telephoned her father and spoke to him and police throughout what was to become an ordeal lasting about two hours, according to broadcast reports.

Orozco was captured by a Special Weapons And Tactics team as he attempted to escape out a window, an officer said.

He was transported to a nearby hospital for minor injuries, possibly suffered while trying to get out the window, the officer said.

He was being held in lieu of $555,000 bail, according to the sheriff's department.
