'Bring back the deceased person': police chase down stolen hearse in Los Angeles
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/27/hearse-with-body-stolen-los-angeles-chaseIt has all the hallmarks of an only-in-Los Angeles crime: a thief stole a hearse – with a body inside - that went on a wild ride, ending with a chase and a crash on a busy freeway.
Authorities say they found the body undisturbed inside a casket Thursday morning and took someone into custody after the crash, which closed the 110 Freeway during the morning commute.
The crime began on Wednesday night, when the thief stole the black Lincoln Navigator from outside St Anthony Greek Orthodox Church in East Pasadena. In a widely shared post online, the Los Angeles sheriff’s department pleaded with the thief on social media to return the body.
“Out of all the bad decisions you have made, at least make one good one & bring back the deceased person & casket inside the Navigator,” the authorities tweeted.
