SAN JOSE — Two men were arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of auto theft after they tried to evade police and crashed into a power pole, according to authorities.

At 1:06 a.m., San Jose police officers ran a license plate on a vehicle “and it came up stolen,” according to Sgt. Enrique Garcia. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, which was occupied by two people, in the area of Allenwoood Drive and S. White Road.

The vehicle didn’t stop and led police on a brief pursuit, Garcia said. The vehicle crashed into a power pole about 2.5 miles away on S. White Road at Lieb Court. Two men, whose names were not immediately released by police, were arrested and booked into the Santa Clara County Jail for auto theft.

San Jose police did not immediately say whether officers engaged in a pursuit of the stolen vehicle.

PG&E reported that 2,583 customers initially lost power because of the crash, according to ABC7. As of 9 a.m., PG&E reported on its website that 39 customers remained without power.
