At around 10:28 a.m. Saturday, a patrol officer was alerted to a stolen van out of San Diego, according to Lt. Will Guerin, EPD Patrol Division watch commander.
EL CAJON, Calif. - Two men were arrested Saturday after a helicopter and police pursuit of a stolen van and a foot chase, the El Cajon Police Department said.
"The driver yielded, and as officers attempted to detain the suspects, the driver sped off and a pursuit ensued," Guerin said. "The stolen van made an abrupt turn, losing control, hitting another vehicle and causing it to crash into a parked car and a residential fence," Guerin said. The sheriff's helicopter followed the van to the end of a cul-de-sac on Parkett Lane, where the van crashed into a parked car and both suspects fled on foot, authorities said.
