Two stolen guns were recovered over the weekend at the end of a short chase in which police arrested two suspected gang members.
Officers were called just before midnight Saturday because of a suspicious car parked in an alley behind Domino's Pizza at 345 W. Pearl Ave.
The brown 2001 Chevrolet Malibu was pulling out as police arrived and the driver refused to stop, instead leading officers through a shopping center parking lot on Orange Street. A passenger threw a loaded semiautomatic handgun that had been stolen from Yucaipa out the window during the chase, according to a police news release.
Jason Cardoza, a 31-year-old San Bernardino man, was arrested on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of stolen property.
The driver, Ronald Montoya, 35, of Bloomington, was arrested on suspicion of evading police and being a felon in possession of ammunition. Jose Ramirez, 36, of San Bernardino was arrested on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Police said they found a loaded semiautomatic handgun stolen from San Bernardino on him.
The fourth passenger, a suspected Redlands gang member, was not arrested.
