In late-September 2018 Sheriff’s deputies and Washington state highway patrol officers were involved in an extended high-speed pursuit of a women driving a stolen Lexus SUV.
The chase began when highway patrol troopers pulled the woman over around 7:30 pm in Seattle, and she responded by nearly running one of the troopers over, the ordeal ending more than a half-hour later, following a successful deployment of spike strips against the stolen Lexus and a subsequent PIT maneuver.
The pursuit’s end was in the Arlington, Washington area on the Stillaguamish Bridge, and it briefly shut down all of the northbound lanes of travel on I-5.
Until now only three silent minutes of this footage have been available. Not anymore. This video contains the complete footage of the pursuit, in full-HD and with all original audio, as recorded by King County Sheriff’s Office’s Guardian One helicopter.
Enjoy!

that was a horrible initial block in
must be an idiot to think they’re getting away from a helicopter in a Lexus
Bro visoracer
39:36 Victory hug! That's cute 🥰
I spend a cazy amount of time during this chase thinking about how a "decent sized bag of meth" looks like 🤔
Fun fact.
If there's a helicopter chasing you, you aren't getting away.
Guardian 1, come in Guardian 1
No one commented about the chatter of "Our subject is passed out in the passenger seat of the car, with what appears to be a bag of meth in his lap" in the first minute of the video?
Too bad they didn't just use the lojack and hang back. The owner of that lexus might not have had a totaled car.
These dirtbags should be jailed for life for this type of behavior as they have no regard for anyone’s welfare but their own.
sooo 😀 anybody else thinks it was suspicious from the first moment that a car like that uses turn signals? 😀
King County's Guardian and Real World Police brings us the coolest videos night and day!
35:44 The dog had absolutely no idea what it should have been looking at… First tried lunging at another officer, then ended up lying down, facing the handler….looool
Stealth would be more appreciated rather than risk innocent people's lives on Highway. Cops have so much technology that stealth would be the best strategy for such conditions.
When did they deploy stop sticks/spikes?
funny the audio has nothing to do with the actual chase
I need some Guardian One merch lol
So she loses her Lexus, freedom, probably her job and thousands of dollars in lawyer fees and fines. All righty then
really like how the Inferred actually works, after they got him stopped, you could actually see that the vents inside of the car by the windshield were quite warm as well, along with pretty much everything else…..
In case you are wondering, King County’s chopper is called Guardian one. I’m a WSP recruit, and I am surprised this woman wasn’t shot when she almost hit the Trooper at the beginning
She thought she was the gingerbread man….
That looks like an lx470. Is it for sale?
Wow didnt realize they had infrared and color at the same time, hella cool
We got the person driving your car, and about your car …
The night sun light on the helicopter is pretty impressive!
He had it to nice
Man, I would really like to hear her defense!!
Lexus comes with OnStar. Why didn't the cops call OnStar and have the car shutdown? Would it spoil their fun?
Guardian1 has left the chat.
What a waste of police resources
40 million candle power of FU straight into all of the drivers eyes for little purpose. Distraction and id for the stinger perhaps.
What is low jack? Can it cut the power to the SUV?
Booooorrrrrring
The best part of this video is the two officers who are at a highschool football game who chime in over the radio.
TIME LINE 38:37………good work LAW ENFORCEMENT. Thank you for your DEDICATION……………getting the LAWLESS of the roads.
Textbook
didn’t realize how long skid marks stay hot….
all the man hours….our tax dollars hard at work!
That's a heck of a heat signature!
