East Bay juvenile, 4 others arrested after police chase

A pursuit in Vallejo last week led to the recovery of three loaded firearms and two suspects booked into Solano County Jail.

On Wednesday at approximately 11:18 p.m., officers assigned to the Vallejo Police Department Patrol Division attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a black Toyota Camry due to its tinted front windows in the area of Sacramento Street and Alabama Street.

However, the driver failed to yield, initiating a vehicle pursuit, which ended in the 200 block of Wilson Avenue, when five occupants immediately exited the vehicle and fled on foot in different directions. Eventually, all five suspects were located and detained without injury after they were found hiding under parked vehicles, inside a full dumpster, and in nearby yards.

Three of the five detained suspects were later determined to be juveniles. One juvenile resided in Walnut Creek, and another resided in Corte Madera.

According to a news release by the Vallejo Police Department, officers recovered three loaded firearms, none of which were confirmed to be lawfully possessed by the individuals involved.

The vehicle, which was not reported stolen, was towed from the scene, and the firearms were booked into evidence.

Two of the three juveniles were transported to the Solano County Juvenile Detention Facility, while one juvenile was cited and released to a parent. All parents or guardians were contacted and informed of the situation. The two adult suspects were subsequently booked into the Solano County Jail.
