Hi,

20th district's also been notified.
03:31
We got them northbound passing Wilson.
03:35
I have no idea where they're going.
03:37
The call takers still on the phone with them.
03:40
They're asking CPD to go to the front of the convoy.
03:43
I guess they want you guys to try to stop the traffic that's convoying them,
03:49
trying to ram them.
03:50
I'm coming up to that 22.
03:52
I'm going to ask for now.
03:53
I still don't see them.
03:56
Wait, I got them.
04:02
I think we're approaching on the S-turn.
04:04
It looks like it's a...
04:06
...charavan and SUV.
04:08
They're in the far-right lane.
04:10
I don't know where they're going.
04:14
Yeah, I don't know where they're going either.
04:16
All right, getting off on Hollywood, 10-4[1].
04:19
The offender that they want is in a red Nissan crossover.
04:23
Red Nissan crossover.
04:27
1912, I got eyes on the Nissan crossover, he's right behind my splint.
04:32
All right, 1912 has eyes on the Nissan crossover, 10-4[1].
04:36
It is a play to Frank Lincoln (number withheld).
04:45
Why is that? I'll think they wanted to fall.
04:48
Ramming the Border Patrol.
04:56
1912, it's the car right behind you.
04:59
1912, it's the car right behind you.
05:01
So he can't come around and start following the caravan.
05:10
1912, and I'm going to try to find out where they're going.
05:14
Okay, simple.
05:19
All right, let me know if you guys get that red vehicle stopped.
05:23
Again, I think Border Patrol wants it.
05:25
They're going to try to figure out where the caravan and Border Patrol SUVs are going, and THH1 is en route in case that red car takes off.
05:33
12. I got the car stops.
05:37
1912, you have the car stopped.
05:39
What's a good location?
05:44
1923.
05:46
1923.
05:48
Any contact with the lead car, they said they're good, they're going to be in Willits-on, they're good for now, for us.
05:56
Okay, do they want this red car?
06:03
1912, I'm at near Sheridan with the vehicle.
06:10
All right, 1912, 104, do you have somebody with you?
06:16
Okay,
06:19
I said four.
06:21
1923, can you find out?
06:23
23, go ahead.
06:25
They just wanted the escort, they don't need that car stop.
06:30
Okay, because we had info that it was attempting to ram them and they wanted the vehicle, so they do not want anything with this red car.
06:43
They just wanted to get away so live.
06:46
They're going to continue on their way, it sounds like.
06:50
Okay, so for 1912, they don't want anything with the red car.
06:53
They just wanted them to stop harassing them on the drive.
