Two teenage armed robbery suspects — found soaking wet after they traipsed through a creek — were arrested by Oakland police on Tuesday after a chase and a hourlong search in the Fruitvale neighborhood, authorities said.

The youths, whose names were withheld because of their ages, were found on the deck of a home on the 2300 block of Mitchell Street at 9:55 a.m. Their clothes were wet and covered by debris because they had waded through Sausal Creek, which runs through the neighborhood, after fleeing from a car, police said.
