San Diego police announced Wednesday night that a multi‑county vehicle pursuit concluded with the arrest of a suspect near the San Ysidro Port of Entry, close to the U.S.–Mexico border.

Chase timeline

At approximately 6:46 p.m., deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office spotted a stolen vehicle traveling eastward from the Jurupa Valley area, near Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street. When the driver failed to stop, deputies initiated a pursuit that carried the suspect through Jurupa Valley onto the westbound State Route 91.

The chase continued southward onto Interstate 5, crossing the county line into San Diego County. Law‑enforcement units from both Riverside and San Diego agencies coordinated the effort, employing aviation support and a K‑9 unit to track the vehicle.

Arrest near the border

Shortly after entering San Diego County, the pursuit reached the San Ysidro area, adjacent to the international border. At around 8:00 p.m., officers and an ambulance were observed in the lanes of the border crossing. The suspect was taken into custody near the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Officials have not released details about the suspect’s condition.

Following the arrest, a traffic collision on southbound I‑5 at Camino De La Plaza caused lane closures. Caltrans diverted traffic to State Route 905, and the California Highway Patrol temporarily closed the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Drivers were advised to use alternative routes, including the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, while the situation was resolved.

Ongoing investigation

San Diego police confirmed that the investigation remains active. No Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies were injured during the pursuit, and the agency praised the cooperation among multiple law‑enforcement partners.

Authorities have asked the public to report any additional information related to the stolen vehicle or the suspect. This story will be updated as more details become available.
