2 Teens Arrested After Crashing Stolen Car In San Mateo
SAN MATEO (BCN) -- Belmont police arrested two teenagers Tuesday morning after they were chased into San Mateo driving a stolen car.
The two boys, 16 and 17 years old, were spotted by an officer around 9:45 a.m. driving on El Camino Real in a white Honda Civic that had been reported as stolen, according Belmont police.

Neither boy was injured in the crash, according to police, and both attempted to run away before being taken into custody.
San Mateo police and a California Highway Patrol helicopter assisted in the pursuit.
The boys were arrested for possession of stolen property, leaving the scene of a crash and resisting arrest.
