Man, Woman, Teen Nabbed After Hwy 24 Chase From Orinda In Stolen Car

Police arrested a man, woman and teenager after the trio led officers on a stolen car chase from Orinda that ended at the North Concord/Martinez BART station this morning, an Orinda police sergeant said.

An officer on patrol around 7:15 a.m. checked the license plate of a car in the parking lot of the Orinda BART station and discovered it had been reported stolen out of San Francisco, Orinda police Sgt. Michael Berry said.

The officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver failed to yield and led the officer on a pursuit headed east on state Highway 24, Berry said.

Berry said Orinda officers, with the help of the California Highway Patrol, pursued the car but eventually lost sight of it. Officers spotted it again a short time later at the North Concord/Martinez BART station parking lot, Berry said.

Authorities ended up catching the three suspects on the BART platform, where Berry said there may have been some kind of struggle between the officers and the suspects.

Officers arrested 22-year-old Stephanie Ledon, 30-year-old Francisco Perez-Herra, and a juvenile on suspicion of possession of a stolen vehicle and evading officers. Berry said there were no injuries reported.
