(KRON) -- A man who allegedly burglarized a business at the Brentwood Junction shopping center last week fled from responding police officers on a bicycle, sparking a slow-speed pursuit caught on the patrol vehicle’s dashboard camera. The Brentwood Police Department was alerted to the burglary on Dec. 13 after an alarm at a business on the 2400 block of Empire Avenue was triggered at around 6 a.m. Arriving officers spotted the burglary suspect, identified as 31-year-old Daniel Whelan, leaving the business through the rear entrance, police said. As Whelan saw the police officers outside of the business, he grabbed a bicycle and began to pedal away, according to Brentwood PD. The responding officers initiated a pursuit of the bicyclist in their patrol vehicles with lights flashing and sirens blaring, video shared by police shows (watch in the player above).

The burglary suspect cuts through the back lot of a building before mounting a divider strip and comes tumbling down off the bike. As Whelan attempts to regain footing, he falls again and the pursuing officer grabs him. Police recovered burglary tools, including a pry bar, knife and gloves, along with stolen property belonging to the business, authorities said. Whelan was arrested for burglary, possession of burglary tools and other related charges.
