COSTA MESA -- Costa Mesa police and Orange County Sheriff’s deputies

arrested two burglary suspects early Thursday morning after a brief chase

that ended only after deputies had fired on the duo.

The suspects, identified as 19-year-old Camille Marie Luck of Mission

Viejo and 36-year-old Daniel Greg King of Laguna Beach, each had warrants

for felony burglary charges. King’s warrant also alleged possession of

dangerous drugs.

The chase began after deputies in an unmarked cruiser attempted to

arrest the two at 1:10 a.m. in the parking lot of the Rite Aid pharmacy

at 3029 Harbor Blvd., said sheriff’s investigator Steven Doan.

When one of the deputies identified himself, Luck, who was driving a

U-Haul moving van authorities believe was stolen, steered the truck

directly at the deputy, Doan said. The deputy dove into a planter to

avoid being hit, he said.

The truck then hit the deputies’ vehicle.

Two other deputies driving up to the scene witnessed the assault and

opened fire on the truck but did not hit anyone.

Luck continued driving southbound on Deodor Street and stopped at

Baker Street. There, both suspects left the vehicle and fled on foot

before being arrested with the assistance of Costa Mesa police.

The truck, however, was left in gear and rolled across the street,

crashing into a wall next to a Savemax Super market at 2975 Harbor Blvd.

The suspects were booked at Orange County Jail. They now face charges

of attempted murder of a police officer, as well as the original burglary

charges, Doan said.

No one was injured in the chase.
