Police said the first incident happened around 7:20 a.m., when a man tried to steal a running vehicle in a driveway on Foxwarren Drive.

The victim stopped the suspect, who took off after a physical altercation — only to approach two other victims minutes later, who had a vehicle running in an open garage.

Police said the man threatened the two people with bear spray, then stole the vehicle and fled, crashing into the garage door, which had been in the process of closing.

Just before 8:30 a.m., the stolen vehicle was spotted by police near Artillery Avenue and College Avenue, and followed to a parking lot, where the suspect was arrested.
