3 Male Juveniles Busted for Stealing a Vehicle in Gonzales Along with Leading Sheriff's Deputies and Other Law Enforcement on a High Speed Pursuit on January 28

According to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office, a deputy spotted a vehicle that was driving erratic and unsafe on Highway 101 at 7:43 pm on Sunday night, January 28. A records check revealed that the vehicle was stolen recently during a carjacking incident in the City of Gonzales. The deputy followed the vehicle relaying pertinent information until he had sufficient units on the scene.

Once the vehicle reached the town of Chualar, the vehicle began to travel at a high rate of speed. At this point, a traffic stop was initiated, and a vehicle pursuit ensued. Once additional deputies joined the pursuit, a plan was made to set up spike strips. The Soledad Police Department opted to assist with deploying spike strips, and a PIT maneuver was authorized. The vehicle continued towards the City of Soledad, where Soledad Police Officers successfully deployed spike strips. The vehicle then took the North Front Street exit off ramp and a successful PIT maneuver was conducted.

Once the vehicle came to a stop, deputies attempted to detain the driver at which point the driver began to accelerate, nearly striking one deputy. The vehicle ran into a patrol vehicle and came to a complete stop. There were 3 males in the vehicle.

One of the suspects involved in the carjacking and other involved felonies who was seated in the rear right passenger seat fled from the vehicle. A sheriffs K9 team pursued the suspect, provided numerous announcements to stop, but the suspect did not comply. A Sheriff's K9 Unit was deployed and a successful apprehension was conducted. The subject sustained minor injuries, was treated on the scene as well as at a local hospital for follow up and clearance before being transported to Juvenile Hall. The 2 remaining males in the car were arrested without incident.

All 3 males were juveniles, and they were charged with felony evading and carjacking (pending further follow-up by Gonzales PD), while one of the juveniles was charged with assault with deadly weapon on a peace officer. They were all booked into Monterey County Juvenile Hall.
