Authorities Pursue Stolen Vehicle from Pescadero to Redwood City

The pursuit ended on Hwy. 280 north of Edgewood Road in San Carlos Thursday morning.

A male and female suspect were detained Thursday morning after a car pursuit that started in the Pescadero area and ended near Redwood City, according to the CHP and the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.

The chase began after the sheriff's office received a report of a reckless driver who was involved in a hit-and-run accident in Santa Cruz County and was heading north on state Highway 1 near Davenport, sheriff's Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt said.

A deputy spotted the vehicle on the highway near Pescadero. California Highway Patrol spokesman Officer Art Montiel said the deputy determined that the car had been reported as stolen.
