A car stolen in Stockton July 26 and recovered in Hayward was stolen again July 27 from a tow yard, and the man alleged to have committed the crime led police on quite the chase through San Mateo, according to police.
On Friday, July 26, a vehicle was reported stolen to the Stockton Police Department. That evening, Hayward police located the vehicle in their city and had it towed to a secure, outdoor tow yard. The following morning, Saturday, July 27, subjects broke into the tow yard by backing a vehicle into the chain-link fence and stole the car again, according to police.
A little over an hour later, an automated license plate reader detected the vehicle in San Mateo. San Mateo officers then attempted to locate the car. At approximately 9:18 a.m., the vehicle was spotted, and an officer attempted to stop the car, but it fled west on State Route 92. A pursuit was terminated as it approached Belmont as the driver was speeding and then reversed and began driving into oncoming traffic, according to police.
The car’s GPS led officers to the 200 block of 24th Avenue in San Mateo. The vehicle was then spotted again by officers who saw it was parked in the area of Portola Drive. The driver fled from the vehicle and made his way into the neighboring back yards. A perimeter was established, and the suspect was eventually located at Beresford Park, where he was arrested. After lying to officers about his name initially, the suspect was identified as Jaizekiel Kumar, 26, of Hayward, a probationer out of Alameda County, according to police.
