SAN BRUNO, CA — A routine traffic stop in San Bruno escalated Sunday night into a high-speed chase that eventually ended in San Francisco with the arrest of two men found with an illegal handgun and stolen items in a stolen car. The incident began at about 11:40 p.m. Sunday when San Bruno police officers attempted a traffic stop on vehicle near the intersection of San Mateo Avenue and Hermosa Street just north of Interstate 380. The vehicle fled at a high rate of speed and officers pursued. Police said the suspect vehicle stopped a short time later when it crashed near southbound Highway 101 and Bayshore Boulevard in San Francisco. Officers detained two men in the vehicle, a 30-year-old Oakland man and a 24-year-old man without an address. Police arrested both men after finding that the car had been reported stolen and that it contained a loaded and unregistered handgun without a serial number, burglary tools, stolen catalytic converters and drug paraphernalia.
