Video. The unusual pursuit of a criminal who hid behind a car: ‘Come on, guys, it’s right there!’

Los Angeles, California, southern suburbs of the city. A criminal escapes from the Police and decides to hide behind a car and against the fence of a house. The unusual search for the fugitive that resembled a film comedy.

The suspect, dressed in a white T-shirt and black pants, crashed a stolen car twice and ran off into the streets of a neighborhood. Trying to get the officers to lose sight of him, he crouched behind a blue vehicle, parked against the gate of a house.

The images, captured by a helicopter from the Fox 11 network in the Californian city, also have the chroniclers’ account of the unusual scene.

“They are doing a very poor job,” one of the presenters begins criticizing, when two patrol cars park next to the car that was hiding the wanted person.

“Come on, guys, it’s right there,” the journalist then shouts at the officers, in what still seems like a situation they can get out of without making a fool of themselves.

Two policemen get out of each of the police vehicles, showing their weapons, holding them firmly with both hands, just as emulated in detective series or movies.

The four of them walk forward and never look to their right, at the blue car, behind whose doors is the target.

Behind them appear two more, who also only concentrate on what is in front of them: everything except the person they are looking for.

“The suspect is there, you saw him,” adds the chronicler, already indignant, while the camera that films everything from above zooms in on the car and clearly shows the fugitive, now lying on the floor, motionless, in silence, waiting for Everything happens and you can go quietly.

“My God, I feel so bad for those officers,” adds the journalist, as they retrace their steps after verifying that they were looking in the wrong place.

Running, in a hurry, aware that everything is going wrong and that the target could have already escaped.

“It’s the blue car, someone give them that information,” begs the narrator of what looks like a comic movie with absurd scenes, like “The Blues Brothers,” “The Pink Panther” or “The Naked Gun.” At this point, it’s anything but SWAT or CSI, with infallible agents.

“It’s incredible,” he adds, while the police look but do not see that the suspect is barely two or three meters away, still face down and in absolute silence and stillness.

One of the policemen suspects that the blue car is hiding something and begins to walk around it, barely bending down to check if the person he is looking for is under the vehicle. But again, he barely blinks, not paying attention.

He gets up and almost rules out that the criminal is there. She continues to circle the car and stands perpendicular to the front of the car. Now all he has to do is look to the left of him. “There it goes,” says the chronicler, as if everything was finally going to be resolved.

But the policeman concentrates on the fence, suspecting that by climbing it, the fugitive fled.

Two others accompany him, one at his side and one behind. They don’t see it. The sought-after, still as a statue, already feels invisible, but just in case, he doesn’t move.

Until finally, they saw it. After an eternal minute and almost ten seconds they captured him, surrounding him between four, while the fugitive still remained absolutely still, as if praying that, even though they were inches away, they still didn’t notice that he was there.

The chronicler sighed, said “oh my God…”, sighed again and was relieved because everything went (almost) well.
