HAYWARD — One suspect is in custody and two others are at large after police interrupted a burglary at a motorcycle dealership in Hayward and then chased a stolen U-Haul truck to Oakland early Wednesday morning, a police spokesman said.
Officers had responded at 3:27 a.m. to a report of a burglary in progress at East Bay Motorsports at 21756 Foothill Blvd., Hayward police Sgt. Ruben Pola said.

The suspects had stolen the U-Haul from another site and brought it to the dealership to load items there, but when officers interrupted the burglary, the suspects used the truck to intentionally ram a police vehicle and then flee, Pola said.

A pursuit ensued that ended in the area of 12th and Willow streets in West Oakland, where two passengers got out of the car and ran away. The driver, a 20-year-old Oakland man, was taken into custody at the scene, Pola said.
The driver, whose name was not immediately being released, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon on an officer, burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle and resisting arrest, according to Pola.

Saw this on the news.
Not the first time this place has been targeted.
They spent 10 minutes trying to get in.
Idiots.

Well at least one will regret his douchebag decision.
Hopefully he squeals on the other two so he can have a familiar face for a cellmate.

I'm glad he got caught. The assault with a deadly weapon charge will up the ante and land him where he deserves -in prison. I'm sure the only reason he was not shot is that the officer was not in a position to do so.

I wonder if it is the same crew that hit K&B earlier this year.

Semantics.
:laughing
(I keed too)

Blasting in to that cop car was a stellar idea.
Nothing like tacking on a few extra years out of pure stupidity.

If this happened in SF, the police are not allowed to shoot at moving vehicles. I believe they are also not allowed to pursue.

No, cause then we'll have to pay for their rehabilitation, prosthetics, housing and every meal they eat for the rest of their lives.

Put'em in flip-flops and send them looking for the lost Germans. :nchantr

Maybe somebody actually accidentally got a good deal at EBMS, and then this whole thing was staged to convict the buyers so that they didn't have to honor said good deal.

:shhh
