A California woman was arrested after leading police on a cross-county chase, which ended in her clothing being bitten off by a K-9.

California Highway Patrol told Fox News Digital the Ventura County Sheriff's Office initiated the pursuit, believing the suspect stole the car she was driving.

The slow-speed pursuit began in Los Angeles County with the suspect driving south on Route 101.

She drove through Tarzana and Encino, and the chase eventually ended in Sherman Oaks. Authorities used a precision immobilization technique maneuver to disable the car.
