Two people suspected of the Monday night burglary of a Reno sporting goods store in which several guns were taken are in a Nevada City jail awaiting extradition to Nevada after their arrest Tuesday night near Floriston.

The Reno Police Department said it recovered guns stolen from Sportsman's Warehouse at Kietzke and Moana lanes and other guns.

Keegan Vaughn, 28, and Crystal Rice, 26, were in a white car Tuesday night about 8:30 p.m. near the Cabela's store by Boomtown when a Nevada Threat Analysis Center official saw them and called police.

Reno police first started following them as they drove west into California at speeds up to 100 mph and then the Washoe County Sheriff's Office RAVEN helicopter picked up the trail so Reno police backed up for public safety, police said. The Nevada Highway Patrol also followed.

The California Highway Patrol set up spike strips to stop the vehicle in the Hirschdale Road area but the car hit the concrete dividing wall several times and eventually two of the tires went flat, Reno police said, so Vaughn and Rice pulled off in the Floriston area.

Rice was taken into custody first near the vehicle and authorities found Vaughn near the Truckee River.

The CHP booked the suspects on suspicion of possession of stolen property and resisting public officers.

Reno police said they are working with federal officials as well as the Washoe District Attorney's Office and the state of California for additional charges.

Police ask that anyone with additional information call police at 775-334-2140 or Secret Witness at 775-332-4900 or text the tip to 847411 keyword – SW.
