SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police arrested two people following a chase involving a stolen vehicle that began on the city's West Side and ended several miles away in an H-E-B parking lot.
Police said they were notified by OnStar, an in-vehicle safety and security system, which helped them track the stolen vehicle from the 120 block of Kenley Place to the H-E-B located in the 18100 block of San Pedro Avenue, which is near Loop 1604 and Highway 281.
A man, 23, and a woman, 25, were found around 2:20 a.m. in the vehicle and, once officers with the San Antonio Police Department pulled up, the man took off, dropping a gun in the process of evading arrest, police said.
The man was eventually taken into custody after instigating a fight with SAPD officers and attempting to pull a knife out, police said.
