On Tuesday, two suspects fleeing from the Contra Costa County Sheriffs Office were taken into custody in the City of Pleasant Hill.
At around 11:50 am Tuesday, the Contra Costa County Sheriffs office was in pursuit of a suspect in the Martinez/Pacheco area that made their way into the City of Pleasant Hill.
