Lamorinda police, county sheriff’s deputies and California Highway Patrol officers coordinated a pursuit, spike-stripping and eventual foot chases after burglary suspects believed to have been armed and dangerous abandoned their smoking car and fled into the area near Veteran’s Hall.
Two suspects were arrested at approximately (7:10pm and 7:19pm) after a police perimeter went up and additional officers joined the search for the pair. An innocent civilian vehicle was also inadvertently spike-stripped during the pursuit.
A sheriff’s helicopter orbited the area of Woodbury Road and Mt. Diablo Boulevard and may have spotted one of the suspects hiding in the underbrush. One suspect was reportedly bitten by a police K9 as they were taken into custody.
Police were backtracking the route of the pursuit and chase in a search for evidence.
Wondered what was happening…
At least we managed to get through Christmas.

Was the burglary in Lafayette? Where was it?
