CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Early Saturday Clearlake Police officers recovered a second vehicle stolen the previous day from a Clearlake resident.
Sgt. Tim Hobbs said the damaged 2002 Cadillac El Dorado was located in the area of Armijo Avenue after midnight.
It had been reported stolen early Friday morning from the home of its owner, along with a Dodge Dakota pickup, police said.
That pickup and some tools were recovered following a high speed chase with a police officer in which the vehicle at one point rammed the patrol vehicle while pulled over, as Lake County News has reported.
Late Friday night Sheriff's Deputy Walter White had attempted an enforcement stop on the Cadillac in the area of Highway 53 and Old Highway 53, and the driver refused to stop, instead leading White on a pursuit, according to police.
White lost the vehicle in the area of Crawford Avenue off of Old Highway 53, Hobbs said.
At about 12:15 a.m. Saturday Clearlake Police Officer Bradlee Middletown responded to the 6100 block of Armijo Avenue, where Officer Michael Carpenter reported finding the abandoned vehicle.
Hobbs said the vehicle had a flat tire and moderate body damage, and wasn't drivable. He said the owner had it towed from the scene.
Police did not have additional details on the deputy's pursuit.
