Redding police officers were on patrol in the area of Hartnell Avenue and Alfreda Way when they spotted a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup that had been reported stolen.

“Upon seeing the marked patrol vehicle, the pickup fled northbound on Reservoir Lane towards East Cypress Avenue,” Redding PD later said of the incident and arrests.

“While searching the area of East Cypress Avenue, citizens began reporting a Dodge Ram pickup that had fled into the parking lot of Lowes attempting to hide from patrol officers,” RPD explained; adding that the man and woman were seen running into the store.

“Citizens provided officers with descriptions of the fleeing occupants and assisted in identifying the occupants once they were detained inside the store,” officials continued.

Officers identified Candice Brun, 40, of Redding, as the driver of the stolen vehicle and she was arrested for theft of a motor vehicle and possession of stolen property.

Patrick Brooks, 31, of Redding, who was found to have an airsoft pistol in his waistband, was arrested for a parole violation and drug possession.

Although the pair was booked into Shasta County Jail in Redding, online jail records indicate both have been released and are no longer in custody.
