  • On Thursday, Fremont Police arrested a suspect who stole a UPS truck, ending an hours-long standoff near Grimmer Boulevard and Auto Mall Parkway.

  • Around 6 a.m., the suspect surrendered and was safely taken into custody, ending the standoff without violence before being wheeled away into an ambulance.
