Police responded to an auto-burglary report on Oak Avenue in Half Moon Bay at 3 a.m. on Monday and found that the victim's speaker box and in-dash DVD player were stolen. The officers asked other agencies to be on the lookout for the suspect vehicle after a witness spotted the suspects fleeing the area.
Minutes later, the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office located the vehicle traveling northbound on Highway 1 near the Half Moon Bay Airport and signaled for the driver to pull over. The vehicle continued along the highway, pursued by police, through Devil's Slide and Pacifica before running over a spike strip, which caused it to stop.
