Two suspects in in a convertible Ford Mustang led authorities on an insane high-speed pursuit that included doughnuts on Hollywood Boulevard and a cruise along the Walk of Fame.
The pursuit was a basic tour of Los Angeles hot spots as the suspects sped ahead of authorities on rain-slicked roads for more than an hour.
With Los Angeles police, sheriff's deputies, and the California Highway Patrol behind them, they stopped traffic on Hollywood Boulevard — one of the busiest streets in L.A. — to do doughnuts.
As news choppers followed the chase, the two suspects lowered the top on the blue Mustang and appeared to make gestures as the chase took social media by storm.
A Los Angeles Police spokesman told BuzzFeed News they were assisting sheriff's officials with the pursuit.
The chase appeared to have started in the Cerritos area on reports of a home burglary, according to KCAL-TV.
The suspects were at one point blocked by a TMZ tour bus, which takes tourists by celebrity-filled restaurants and homes.
The two drove through some of the busiest, traffic-ridden areas of Los Angeles.
Spike strips put down by police appeared to flatten one of the tires, prompting the car to become increasingly difficult to maneuver and the chase slowed down.
Eventually, the suspects stopped in a neighborhood and waited by the car, even high-fiving spectators.
It took authorities several minutes to arrive to the scene. Meanwhile, the two men posed for selfies with people in the neighborhood and leaned against the car until police arrived.
Police chases often come to tense endings, with police drawing their weapons and ordering suspects into the ground. This time however, sheriff deputies calmly drove up to the parked car.
The suspects placed their hands behind their back, and coolly walked toward deputies to be taken into custody.
