Three armed carjacking suspects led authorities on a wild, high-speed chase through the East Bay before crashing in East Oakland where two of the assailants were nabbed by police early Tuesday, officials said.

The suspects had carjacked a person somewhere in Dublin in the predawn hours and then fled the crime scene on westbound Interstate 580, police said.

The car was spotted by Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies in Castro Valley, said Sgt. J.D. Nelson, a sheriff’s spokesman. But rather than stopping, the driver hit the gas, reaching speeds of up to 100 mph as deputies gave chase and commuters took to the busy traffic corridor.

The driver exited the freeway in Oakland and sped through city streets where he eventually crashed around 6 a.m. at 46th and Bancroft avenues, Nelson said.

The three suspects immediately jumped out of the car and ran off. One man was captured by Oakland police, and a second suspect was nabbed by deputies.

There were no reports of serious injuries in the incident.

Authorities were narrowing in on the third suspect, Nelson said. Police found guns and cash during the arrests.

Officials did not immediately identify the suspects or give additional details on the initial carjacking.

Streets were closed around Bancroft and 46th for more than an hour while law enforcement officers made the arrests and searched the area.
