A woman was taken into custody after leading California Highway Patrol officers in a high-speed pursuit that concluded in Castaic on Tuesday afternoon. 

The incident commenced in Bakersfield at around 12:30 p.m., where law enforcement followed a Dodge Charger stolen out of Gardena, according to CHP Officer Josh Greengard. 

“We took over the pursuit on the southbound 5 (Freeway) around Smokey Bear Road, just south of Gorman,” he said. “The pursuit reached around 100 mph at times and the vehicle exited Hasley Canyon Road into the Castaic Industrial Center.”
