Two shoplifting suspects, 35-year-old Nicole Vargas and 48-year-old Francisco Ruiz, were arrested after allegedly leading police on a chase through Clovis on Monday night.
Around 6:30 pm, officers responded to a shoplifting call at Dick’s Sporting Goods on Clovis and Herndon. Clovis police say the suspects got into a vehicle and sped away, leading to a chase.
The chase ended near Fowler and Herndon after officers used a PIT maneuver on the suspects’ vehicle. Vargas and Ruiz were both arrested on charges of grand theft, evading, possession of meth and paraphernalia, and conspiracy.
Officials say Ruiz was on parole at the time of his arrest.
