Yesterday, officers from the Pleasanton Police Department identified a stolen vehicle driving through Pleasanton, California's city streets. According to the Pleasanton Police Department, they attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver did not cooperate and was, for a short while, successful in losing the police.

The high-speed chase ended when the stolen vehicle stopped on I-680 and two individuals were detained by the police officers. 

Police discovered a hidden, unregistered, loaded Glock 19 under the driver's seat. They also found several false identification documents, which raised suspicions of more potential crimes.

The two individuals were arrested and transported to Santa Rita Jail.
