Armored vehicle rams big rig, ends wild police pursuit

AN ARMORED vehicle called a BearCat pins a suspected stolen big rig in Buena Park on Wednesday.

The pursuit ended in Buena Park after an armored vehicle got involved to help pin the truck in.

The big rig, which was not hauling anything at the time, was finally reined in just after 11 a.m. by multiple unmarked vehicles and Fontana police at Beach Boulevard and Franklin Street, where two men inside the vehicle exited at gunpoint.

Fontana police identified the driver as 54-year-old Buena Park resident Bill Fayed and the passenger as 42-year-old Rancho Cucamonga resident Carlos Richard Mesta.

Fayed had a previous warrant for grand theft auto, while Mesta had an outstanding domestic violence warrant, according to Fontana police.
