I heard the sirens and turned on the police scanner app on my phone to learn what was going on. The chase went all over Sacramento, and was in south Sacramento when Joe the Plumber called and interrupted
my pursuit by app:Three men were arrested following a robbery and chase Thursday night that wound across the streets and freeways of Sacramento.
The incident began as an armed robbery about 9:30 p.m. at a business on the 1500 block of West El Camino Avenue in South Natomas, according to Sacramento police spokesman Officer Anthony Gamble. Police dispatch records indicated the robbery took place at the Shell gas station on West El Camino at Truxel Road. Callers told dispatchers at least two of the men pulled handguns on the gas station employee before running away on foot.
...After several minutes, the chase was taken over by California Highway Patrol officers, who followed the suspects for more than 90 minutes through Sacramento roadways. The chase, which took to Interstate 5 and Highway 99, according to law enforcement flight logs, wound through downtown and midtown, as well as East Sacramento — before ending in Meadowview.
...The men, a 24- and 21-year-old from Sacramento and a 20-year-old from Concord, were being held Friday in Sacramento County Main Jail and face felony charges of robbery and conspiracy.
