According to CBS 12 in Providence, two men were arrested Tuesday after stealing vehicles and leading officers on separate pursuits. The first chase took place after a resident on Merrimac Street found a man sleeping in their backyard. Police said after the resident woke him up, the man hopped in the victim’s car and took off. Officers in the area spotted the man, later identified by police as 31-year-old Brandon Pierce, getting out of the car and running through residents’ yards. Pierce was taken into custody following a brief foot pursuit. He’s been charged with larceny of a motor vehicle and had six outstanding warrants for his arrest.

Several hours later, officers spotted a vehicle with a stolen license plate near Kempton and Chancery streets. That suspect, later identified by police as 20-year-old Cameron Fernando Leite, also led officers on a brief chase before being taken into custody. Leite has been charged with failing to stop for police, operating with a suspended license plate, illegally attaching plates and receiving stolen property.
