Police standoff with kidnapping suspect shuts down 710 Freeway
A kidnapping suspect remains barricaded inside a van after leading officers on a pursuit through Los Angeles County Friday night.
The suspect initially led officers on a chase before pulling over on the on-ramp to the southbound 710 Freeway near Alondra Boulevard in Compton.
However, the driver is refusing to come out and has moved into the rear portion of the van, according to Long Beach police.
All lanes of the southbound 710 Freeway have been shut down. Traffic is backed up for miles to the 105 Freeway and continues building.
A spike strip has been set up in front of the van and SWAT Team members, along with K-9 units, are responding to the scene.
