Recovered stolen vehicle

3:55 a.m., Miramonte Avenue and Barbara Avenue, Mountain View; Los Altos Police Agent Neal Randles said at about 3:15 a.m., the suspect was observed driving erratically on Miramonte near Covington Road, and when Sgt. Mark Bautista attempted to pull him over the suspect fled, driving into Mountain View.  Mountain View police found the car in the middle of the road off of Miramonte on Alison at Barbara avenues, with the door open and the radio playing. Two blocks away, they found the suspect walking on the street on Barbara and Montalto avenues near Bubb Park. He professed to having nothing to do with the car in the middle of the street. Police contacted the owner of the car, a Los Gatos woman, who came to get it and found the GPS device missing. The suspect had the GPS in his backpack, Randles said.

The individual was also found with an outstanding $75,000 felony warrant related to drug charges, so he was arrested and booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail.
