OAKLAND, Calif. – A 16-year-old suspect was arrested in Oakland on Friday after fleeing from San Bruno police in a reported stolen car.
San Bruno Police Department officers on Friday morning attempted to stop the suspect vehicle in the area of El Camino Real and Euclid Avenue, not far from San Francisco International Airport, according to an SBPD statement.
However, the SBPD said the vehicle fled from officers at a high rate of speed. Officers opted to back off from a chase, and instead used a StarChase GPS tracking device to monitor the suspect vehicle as it traveled through Daly City.
Authorities managed to anticipate the suspect vehicle’s direction and laid out spike strips, which flattened the vehicle’s tires.

The suspect was booked into the Hillcrest Juvenile Detention Facility. Their name was not released due to their age.
