A suspect is in custody after a pursuit through Ventura County Wednesday afternoon.

The chase started in Los Angeles County.

CHP officials said the driver sped through a red light on Mills and fled on foot after he dumped the van. Ventura Police arrested the driver near Saint Bonaventure High School located on the 3100 block of Telegraph Road.
