PASADENA — Police arrested a carjacking suspect after spotting him driving in the allegedly stolen car Thursday afternoon, officials said.
Mark Bravo, 29, of Glendale was booked on suspicion of carjacking following his 3:45 p.m. arrest at Parke Street and Marengo Avenue, Pasadena police Lt. Jason Clawson said.
Officers were on patrol when they saw a car being driven by Bravo and also occupied by a passenger and realized the vehicle had been reported stolen in Los Angeles, the lieutenant said.
The officers stopped the car and arrested Bravo without a struggle, he said. A passenger fled on foot and was not found, though police believed they knew his identity.
Pasadena police turned Bravo over to Los Angeles police for booking, according to officials and county booking records. He was being held in lieu of $90,000 bail pending his initial court appearance.
