A man riding a stolen dirt bike led Los Angeles police on a chase lasting more than an hour.

He was eventually arrested after running out of fuel and abandoning the bike.

Honestly, chases like this make the news out here from time to time. Our scene has a real, ongoing problem with stolen bikes, and the sheer preparation of stashing a gas can in a park ahead of time gets a wry laugh out of me. Going over an hour was never going to end well though.

Stashing a gas can ahead of time too, that's wild

Over an hour is a pretty long chase as these things go

Riding helmetless while on the phone is genuinely dangerous

The prep work was so thorough it's almost funny
