A police chase which began in Glendale, California resulted in a car crashing through the gates of the Warner Bros. Studios lot in Burbank, California on Tuesday afternoon. The suspect remains at large following the crash and there is no word of injuries yet. Much of the Warner Bros. staff is not on the premises as the coronavirus pandemic has most of the studio’s employees working remotely and production on new titles has not yet resumed. At the time of publishing, 3:30pm PT, the suspect who crashed into the studio was still on the loose.

It is not far from the strip where the studio tour escorts fans of The Gilmore Girls and other popular titles through familiar building faces a gazebos which are often dressed up for the camera.
