A woman suspected of vandalizing a Porsche SUV in Hollywood was arrested by LAPD officers late Monday night, handcuffed, and placed in a patrol car, but managed to steal the vehicle and escape. The incident occurred around 11:50 p.m. near Franklin and Orchid avenues, after which the woman, described as approximately 35 years old and wearing a gray Raiders hoodie and jeans, drove the patrol SUV a short distance before abandoning it at Camrose and Paramount drives in the Hollywood Hills.
