Shortly after 9:00 PM on Monday, December 23, 2013, a male victim was assaulted during a carjacking near a local convenience store in Pico Rivera.

The deputy attempted to stop the vehicle. the vehicle sped off and the deputy went in pursuit of the stolen vehicle. Deputies stopped the pursuit when the suspect’s speed became unsafe for deputies to follow him.
