PIEDMONT \u2013 Two carjacking suspects were arrested Monday in Piedmont following a pursuit and collision, police said.<\/p>\n
Officers initially received an alert that a stolen vehicle, a white Mitsubishi, had entered the city near the intersection of Oakland and Olive avenues, according to the Piedmont Police Department.<\/p>\n
The Mitsubishi was carjacked earlier that day in Oakland by a suspect armed with a rifle, police said.<\/p>\n
As Piedmont officers headed to the area, they spotted Oakland officers chasing the Mitsubishi eastbound on Oakland Avenue. The pursuit ended when the car collided with a gate on El Cerrito Avenue, near Piedmont High School, police said.<\/p>\n
Piedmont officers took the driver and a passenger into custody, as well as recovered a rifle, police said. The suspects and the gun were then turned over to Oakland officers.<\/p>\n
