Authorities are looking for a suspect who led police on a high-speed chase that ended in Morgan Hill, following an armed robbery in Sunnyvale Monday night, police said. About 10:20 p.m. Monday, a Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety officer tried to stop a suspicious vehicle in the area of Arques and America avenues, according to a press release from Sunnyvale DPS. The driver of the vehicle failed to yield to the officer’s red lights and began to evade the officer. About 10:24 p.m., Sunnyvale Dispatch received a report of an armed robbery, police said. A clerk at a convenience store at 395 N. Fair Oaks Ave. reported he was robbed at gunpoint and the suspects fled in an unidentified make of vehicle. The description of the vehicle and the close proximity of the robbery matched the vehicle that failed to yield to the traffic stop, police said. The male driver, with a male occupant in the vehicle, continued to flee, and officers pursued him south on U.S. 101, the press release said. Officers from the California Highway Patrol, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office and San Jose Police joined the pursuit as it continued on the freeway at high rates of speed. Police pursued the vehicle to the area of the U.S. 101 and Tennant Avenue interchange, where the vehicle lost control and crashed into a chain link fence, the press release said. Both suspects exited the vehicle and continued to flee from officers on foot into a nearby field, police said. Officers, joined by Morgan Hill police, set a perimeter around the field. One suspect, a Mountain View man whose name has not been released, was taken into custody. A search of the area for the second suspect was conducted, but police were unable to locate him, police said. Anyone with information about this incident can contact Sunnyvale DPS at (408) 730-7110.
