Mountain View police arrested two wanted suspects on Monday morning after the officers discovered one of the suspects getting into a vehicle he had allegedly stolen from Campbell.
Police often look for stolen vehicles when they are not responding to calls, according to spokesperson Liz Wylie, and were running the license plates of cars at the Pacific Inn on El Camino Real on May 4. They discovered one stolen car parked there, a black 2005 Chevy Tahoe, and were waiting for the county’s Regional Auto Theft Task Force to arrive when a man started to get into the vehicle.
Police arrested Cinque Erin, 34, who was wanted for stealing the car and considered armed and dangerous. He was taken into custody without incident on charges of auto theft and possession of stolen property, Wylie said.
They also arrested a 17-year-old female who was with Erin and wanted by the San Mateo County Juvenile Prohibition Department on a probation violation. The suspect, whose name cannot be released since she is a juvenile, gave the police two false identities before they discovered her real name.
The female suspect is currently booked in juvenile hall for felony false impersonation and the warrant.
