A 42-year-old man on probation for stolen vehicle offenses has been arrested after fleeing police in a stolen car and attempting to escape on a bicycle, authorities said.
The Menlo Park Police Department said San Bruno police notified them Thursday at 9:15 a.m. that a stolen vehicle was heading toward the city, tracked by automatic license plate readers.
Officers said they attempted a traffic stop. However, the driver, identified as Anthony Ramos Santos, ran into a neighborhood and stole a bicycle to flee.
Santos was detained with the help of people who pointed officers in his direction, police said.
Santos was booked into county jail on suspicion of possession of a stolen vehicle and resisting arrest.
The vehicle was returned undamaged to its owner, police said. — Bay City News
