**CHP Helicopter assists with Pursuit** This afternoon, CHP H-32 responded to a report of a pursuit traveling west on I-80 from Napa County.

As two suspects exited the vehicle near the Oakland / Emeryville border, ground officers responded to the area and arrested both of the occupants. Having a CHP aircraft over a fleeing suspect allows ground officers to follow at a safer distance. With CHP aircraft overhead, Officers are able to respond to the termination point and arrest the suspects. Interested in a career in law enforcement? Check out chpmadeformore.com

According to the CHP, the pursuit began around 1 p.m. Tuesday in Napa County. Once the two suspects approached the crowded East Bay freeway, ground patrol vehicles broke off pursuit and turned it over the CHP air crews.

Weaving between lanes, the suspects reached speeds in excess of 120 mph as they raced on the shoulder of the freeway passed the Berkeley exits.

They crossed over onto city streets near the Oakland / Emeryville border and raced onto Mandela Parkway. 

Then on 30th near Adeline, the two suspects parked the vehicle and began walking, not seemingly aware of the CHP aircraft overhead.
