Fremont home-invasion robbery leads to Menlo Park manhunt

MENLO PARK, Calif. -- Two suspects have been detained in Menlo Park Wednesday evening after shots were fired at officers during a pursuit, according to police.

The incident began in Fremont at 5:28 p.m. when police officers from Newark and Fremont chased a suspect vehicle over the Dumbarton Bridge after a home-invasion robbery, according to Menlo Park police spokeswoman Nicole Acker.

Shots were fired at the Newark and Fremont officers in the 1300 block of Willow Road near a Menlo Park business complex, according to Acker, but the officers were uninjured and did not return fire.

Three suspects fled on foot into the business park and two of them were apprehended. Officers from multiple departments set up a perimeter while they searched for the third suspect, who still remains at large. The search was suspended late Wednesday night.
