Likely from the long pursuit, the suspects' white car was smoking when it finally stopped, and the Redwood City Police Department was called in to hose down the car as a precaution, as seen in the above video.

Though it is still unclear why the suspects were being pursued, witnesses said they saw at least one young Hispanic male being handcuffed and put into the back of a police car. Other witnesses said they saw more than one suspect.
