A suspect stole an Oakland police car on Thursday morning and then crashed it into a home before he was arrested, police said.
They were even more surprised to find out that it was a police car that had slammed into the front fence in the 4200 block of Oakmore Avenue, not too far away from Head Royce School. But it wasn't a police officer who drove the car into the driveway, leaving debris in a homeowner's driveway.
Spokeswoman Candace Keas said officers and sheriff's deputies pursued the police car and then got the help of the California Highway Patrol, when the suspect drove it onto the freeway. Neighbor Tej said she was sleeping when she awoke to see cop car lights flashing in her bedroom. Police wanted to speak to her because the driver sideswiped her Prius in the street as well.
