Two men were arrested Saturday morning after they fled from Ceres Police in a stolen vehicle and were found with drugs and stolen catalytic converters.
At 4:39 a.m., Sergeant Jon Blount was patrolling the area of Mitchell and Fowler roads when he located a stolen Honda Civic and attempted to stop it. The driver accelerated and a pursuit ended when the driver finally stopped in the 1900 block of Myrtlewood Drive and both occupants fled on foot. A perimeter was set up and both driver Kong Vang, 44, of Sacramento and passenger Teng Yang, 40, of Merced were arrested. A search of the car turned up catalytic converters and tools. Both had methamphetamine in their possession.
Kong was charged with evading a police officer, resisting arrest, and possession of a stolen vehicle, stolen property and methamphetamine.
Teng was charged with possession of stolen property, resisting arrest and possession of methamphetamine.
Both were booked into the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center.
