MORENO VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Sheriff's officials say a carload of burglary suspects smashed into a fire hydrant while they were trying to evade deputies.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports deputies responded to a call of a burglary in progress at about noon Thursday.
A witness told officials suspects had fled the scene in a black Honda, which officers encountered a short while later.
Following a pursuit that lasted less than half a block, the vehicle the suspects were in crashed into a fire hydrant.
Three suspects were taken into custody immediately and another was arrested minutes later after attempting to flee.
It's unclear what the suspects allegedly stole.
