Video from the scene showed cars doing donuts in the intersection and then, dozens of spectators allegedly smashed the glass of the AutoZone store, broke in, ripped open a metal fence, and proceeded to loot and vandalize the store. 

Authorities said the store was burglarized by 50 to 75 of the people participating in the takeover. AutoZone estimated the loss of property at around $67,000.

Once police arrived at the scene, one of the suspects led officers on a pursuit before surrendering to authorities in the El Segundo area. The suspect, 24-year-old Danny Sanchez, was arrested and booked for felony reckless evading of a police officer. 

Officers recovered about $1,200 of stolen merchandise in Sanchez's car. 

The suspects wanted by authorities are believed to belong to street takeover groups.
