Coronado

Coronado police pursued two car thieves across the Coronado Bridge and into the streets of Logan Heights Tuesday. Police got the car, but the thieves got away.

Witnesses told police that they saw a car being stolen near Star Park Circle and Loma Avenue in Coronado about 2 p.m., officials said.

A patrol car and unmarked police car spotted the stolen car as it was going through the bridge toll plaza and followed it to the Crosby Street exit in Logan Heights.

According to a press release issued by Coronado Police Chief Jerry Boyd, the officers chased the car through “several side streets and alleys.” The car finally hit a tree in the 2100 block of Newtown Avenue. The two men in the car ran away, and police impounded the vehicle. A stereo was stolen from the car.

Witnesses who saw the two running said one had a handgun and may have also cut his head in the crash. The second man was bitten by a dog as he jumped over a fence.
