Police Searching For Man Suspected of Stealing Car

Police pulled the car over on Rolison Road.

Redwood City police spent much of lunchtime Wednesday searching for a suspect who fled on foot after being pulled over in a stolen Toyota Camry, a police lieutenant said.

A traffic officer maneuvered behind the 1990s Camry just before noon and, after running the plates, learned that it had been stolen from San Jose, police Lt. Sean Hart said. 

When the officer pulled over the Camry in the 3500 block of  Rolison Road, the male driver fled on foot.

Police have no detailed description of the driver.

A juvenile female who was riding in the car was detained at the scene.
