Carjacking suspect arrested in Oakland after fleeing

A carjacking suspect in Oakland's hills created chaos on Wednesday evening. The suspect, a 34-year-old man, stole a Honda from a 35-year-old victim around 5:20 p.m. while pretending to have a gun. After the theft, police quickly located the stolen vehicle on 98th Avenue. The chase moved to Hayward, where the suspect collided with another car but kept driving. Law enforcement units, including deputies and a helicopter, pursued him as he drove recklessly. A resident reported that he was running stop signs and driving dangerously on winding roads. The suspect eventually returned to the area of the carjacking. He abandoned the stolen Honda on Krohn Lane, then fled on foot into nearby bushes. Police set up a perimeter and a helicopter helped coordinate the search. Around 7 p.m., officers captured the suspect, who is now held at Santa Rita Jail without bail. He faces charges of carjacking, possession of a stolen vehicle, and violating probation from a previous case. He is set to appear in court on Friday. Authorities are investigating why he returned to the location of the theft.
