WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah – Officers arrested two people on Monday morning in connection with a stolen car.

Police say that car came up as stolen in their system, so the officer followed it to a home near 3200 S. Beaver Street around 1:15 a.m.

Police say two people jumped out of the stolen car and ran from officers.

Police set up a containment area and used K-9 officers to track down the two suspects.

After about 10 minutes, officers found both of the suspects, one of which was in a nearby park.

Police used a K-9 to take one suspect into custody. That suspect had to be treated for bite wounds.
