A 35-year-old Modesto man was arrested Thursday evening after Ceres Police Sgt. Vince Hooper followed him and quickly learned the car was reported stolen.

At 11:29 p.m., Sgt. Hooper was rolling in the area of Hatch and Crows Landing roads when he began following a Honda CRV. After dispatchers told him the SUV was reported stolen, Sgt. Hooper conducted a high-risk traffic stop in the Chevron parking lot at Hatch and Herndon roads. Daniel Sanchez, 35, of Modesto was arrested for vehicle theft and possession of a stolen vehicle and later transported to the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center where he was booked.
