Two Chilean nationals were arrested after a burglary led to a high-speed pursuit crash in Orange County.

The suspects were identified as Jorge Navarretecorvalan, 32, and Alejandro Tobarfuentes, 32, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

On June 8, the suspects allegedly ransacked a San Juan Capistrano home and escaped with designer handbags, jewelry and a safe, authorities said.

When an Orange County sheriff’s deputy spotted the men and tried to pull their vehicle over, they refused to yield and sped away from the scene, leading the deputy on a pursuit.

During the chase, the suspects, who were driving a Mini Cooper, drove on the wrong side of the freeway and crashed head-on into a Toyota sedan while also narrowly missing a deputy who tried to pull them over.

The sedan driver suffered serious injuries as a result of the crash, authorities said.
