Police Department recovered two stolen vehicles and arrested two suspects on Wednesday afternoon.
The first recovery occurred at about 5:05 p.m. when a Santa Rosa police officer located a stolen blue Lincoln four-door sedan entering the parking lot of Motel 6 North on Cleveland Avenue. Inside the vehicle's rear seat, officers found a stolen air compressor from a residence in the 1900 block of Sansone Drive.
Jail on suspicion of felony grand theft. Carrillo-Contreras already has outstanding felony warrants out of Marine County and Lake County for three additional stolen vehicle cases, according to Santa Rosa police. A Humvee stolen Monday night from the National Guard armory in Santa Rosa has since been spotted driving around Sonoma County, officials said Tuesday.
The second recovery happened around 5:31 p.m. on Wallace Road when an officer attempted to make a traffic stop on a stolen 2016 silver Toyota Tacoma for expired registration. The driver, 54-year-old Lawrence Cassidy, allegedly refused to pull over and led the officer on a pursuit. The pursuit ended when Cassidy lost control of the vehicle and crashed in an open field.
