Three suspects are in custody after a short chase up the Nimitz Freeway and a foot pursuit. Just after 2:30 this afternoon a vehicle was broken into at Pacific Commons. The suspect vehicle, a black Honda Civic with no license plates, left the area headed towards Auto Mall. An alert officer noticed a similar vehicle on Mowry by 880 a few minutes later. This vehicle had a license plate on it and in what appeared to be a move to ditch the officer, headed back north on 880. The officer was able to catch up with it as it exited 880 at Thornton. A Fremont Police sergeant was there too waiting. The Sergeant and the officer initiated a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled. Heading back north on 880, the suspect vehicle began passing slow commute traffic on the right hand shoulder before crashing into 2 vehicles just south of Decoto Road. Two occupants in those vehicles complained of pain from the crash, per radio traffic. The 3 suspects exited their vehicle and ran north on the shoulder before making a turn westbound across the freeway. The sergeant and officer were able to catch up to them off the freeway in a creek and take them into custody.
You can listen to the audio from the pursuit on my Sound Cloud page, ScannerFremont. The event starts about 15:00 in.
WTG FPD!
