it was like the motorcycle was scraping the pavement. >> fremont police along with a half dozen other agencies spent all day searching for the suspect of the stolen van. they even cordoned off the industrial area and searched all traffic passing through. they thought they cornered him at the bart station during rush hour. turned out to be someone who knows him. that person was taken into custody. the suspect, a hispanic male, 25 to 30 years old, about 6 feet tall with a medium build. he was last wearing a reddish sweatshirt and jeans and a dark blue or black baseball cap. anyone who may have information contact fremont police. live in fremont, theresa garcia, abc 7 news. >> thanks so much, theresa. time now 6:06. >> this morning a coalition of day laborers, domestic workers and other members of the local immigrant community will hold a rally accusing attorney general and gubernatorial candidate

jerry brown of blocking san francisco's efforts to opt out of a controversial federal fingerprinting program. the program known as secure communities require cities to send the fingerprints of everyone arrested by federal immigration authorities. san francisco has tried to remove itself from the voluntary program before but was told by the attorney general's office that it couldn't and that it was important to work with the federal government on the issue. santa clara county supervisors recently voted to attempt to opt out of the program as well. a san francisco supervisor has introduced a measure urging nail salons to get rid of the toxic chemicals they use in favor of a greener alternative. supervisor dave chew says nail polish and removers are a public health hazard. they can cause cancer, dizziness and considered harmful to pregnant women. the ordinance would not force salons to switch to nontoxic products but rather acknowledge those salons that are

chemical-free. customers say it's a good idea. >> in the other salons when they're sitting with masks on when doing your nails, you gotta wonder how healthy it is for them as well as for clients. >> only a handful of the nearly 200 nail salons use the more expensive nontoxic products. the board of supervisors is expected to vote on the proposed ordinance next tuesday. >> expect to see angels over the bay for the next few days. today the blue angels begin rehearsals for fleet week. the flying team arrived at sfo in formation yesterday afternoon. the angels will perform on saturday and sunday from three to 4 p.m. over the bay. many of the pilots have completed the top gun program and their f-18's can reach speeds up to mach 2, twice the speed of sound. that unmistakable roar. >> i love it. i rush outside to see, where

and like baseball people love their stats. i started bringing my lunch to work. 50 bucks a week in my pocket here's a good one state farm insures 40 million drivers. more than geico and progressive combined. i save because i'm accident-free. of course, with so many ways to save, including discounts of up to 40%, having thamany customers shouldn't be a surprise. so ask a neighbor about state farm. then call an agent at 1-800-state-farm, or go online.

state budget cuts are crippling my classroom, so i can't believe the sacramento politicians cut a backroom deal that will give our state's wealthiest corporations a new billion dollar tax give-away, a new handout that can only mean larger class sizes and even more teacher layoffs. but passing prop 24 can change all that. prop 24 repeals the unfair corporate give-away and puts our priorities first. vote yes on prop 24, because it's time to give our schools a break, not the big corporations.

and lieutenant. the opening time pushed back a bit? >> tentatively about 7:30. >> as we take a look at video from the scene, why don't you tell us what led up to this head-on collision. >> last night just before midnight, two-officer police car pulled over a speeding vehicle that came out of the webster street tube. the vehicle pulled over. the officers initially made contact with the driver and after a short exchange, the driver electioned to flee. he fled from the officers outside their vehicles. crossed over a dirt lot. the officers obviously went back to their cars, lost sight of the suspect vehicle. by the time they got to their cars and turned around, the suspect had already entered the roadway. the officers weren't on the roadway at that time. the suspect then went into the tube the wrong way, presumably at high speed, and struck two other vehicles. >> the black toyota corolla that

you for talking to us. live in alameda, terry mcsweeney, abc 7 news. >> terry, thank you so much. right now we want to take you to that conference fresno police are holding on the kidnapped eight-year-old girl. >> police have detained the suspect but the girl hasn't been found yet. >> shortly before that we received another call a few blocks away in the area of fisher and clay. that location we had a report of an indecent exposure. also a white male in his twenties, driving a similar vehicle, pickup truck that i'll describe shortly. he had got out of his pickup, approached two girls, young girls that were on the sidewalk, pulled down his pants and prompted them to look at him as he exposed himself. at that time he got back into his vehicle. he drove away from the area again with the lights out, and the mother of one of the victims

chased him on foot but lost him in the area. the vehicle that was described to us in this incident, both incidents, is a late '70s or early '80s or either a ford or chevy pickup truck. it's a full size that has two doors. it is described as either being a dark brown or a reddish brown type vehicle. and it's also described as having somewhat of a distinctive approximate 6-inch white stripe across the side of that pickup. in fact, we have since spotted that vehicle on our -- part of our video policing cameras. those cameras that were within that area. and we have put that out to the media, and we are in the process of also enhancing that video so that we may be able to get a license plate on it.

the suspect is being described as a white male in his -- what appears to be early twenties. he is believed to be a white male or a light-skinned hispanic. he's approximately 5-8 to 6 feet tall. and medium build. we've had some conflicting information in terms of his build. he was last seen wearing a white tank top and blue jean shorts. and the witnesses in this did not see any visible tattoos on his body. since the time of this incident, immediately after the incident we put out an amber alert. initially it was based on the immediate geography of the fres fresno counties and spread out through the state of california. we had 130 police officers since the time we determined this was in fact a kidnapping respond to the scene. we've done a grid search over

about a three-mile area going door to door within that immediate area and checking every area that we thought the suspect might be or the victim might be. unfortunately we have not had any luck. we've also checked hotels, motels, bus depots, train stations, schools, parks. any area that we thought would be isolated or secluded where the suspect may take this young girl. i think many of you know that earlier this morning we received information that came in from the sheriff's department that there was a motorist following a vehicle believed to be this suspect vehicle in the area of cam and thompson. the motorist lost sight of the vehicle in that area. by the time deputies and as well as police officers and the helicopter could get on scene, we could not locate the vehicle

but we did do a thorough search of the field. the helicopter spotted a heat source in that field, and we were able to chase down and detain an individual. that person has an extensive criminal history. but after being detained by the detectives and interviewed by the detectives, at this point in time we do not believe that he is related to this kidnapping. we are -- we have enlisted the assistance of the federal bureau of investigation. they have been with us throughout the evening. and, in fact, there has been a request made of the child abduction rapid deployment team. they will be in fresno later today. we've also reached out to the national center for missing and exploited children, and they are working with us. in fact, they are sending one of their teams that assist in kidnapping, specializing in child abductions and that's called team adam. and they will be here later

today as well. we are in the process of going through every single sex registrant within the city of fresno. unfortunately we have well over 1500 sex registrants in our city. we have tried to narrow that scope based on the description that we have. we have had our sex crimes detectives with us all evening, as well as those detectives that register sex offenders. we're working with our state parole. and, again, as i said earlier, with the f.b.i. we are going to continue with the search. when daylight comes, we will again do another grid search of that area, and we will continue to check every single sex registrant within the city of fresno that matches the description in hopes of being able to local elissa.

questions? >> you've been listening to a live press conference giving us an update for an amber alert for a kidnapped girl from fresno. she has not been found. the man who kidnap it had her is out there as well. there is a description. you can find that on our website. we'll continue following the story. johannes mehserle is now asking for a new trial. his lawyer has filed a 134-page request arguing for overturning the involuntary manslaughter verdict against him. they convicted the police officer in a fatal shooting of an unarmed passenger oscar grant on new year's day 2009. he said he meant to taz grant but accidentally fired his gun instead. prosecutors told jurors such an incident had never happened before. attorneys have learned about a

similar case in kentucky. that incident the officer was never put on trial. mehserle is scheduled to be sentenced november 5th. >> definitely want to check with mike and talk about the weather. a little warmer, right, but not time to break out the sweaters? >> i don't think so. hi, mike. >> good morning. let's check out that 24-hour temperature change. you guys are spot on. warmer in most areas. santa rosa 3, concord 5 and san jose 9 degrees warmer than yesterday. here's how the day breaks down. sunshine through the 8:00 hour. a few high clouds. temperatures upper 40s in the north bay valleys, the rest of us in the 50s. by noon starting to see some of those clouds develop but still dry. temperatures mid to upper 60s around the bay into the south bay. even 70s up in the north bay and east bay valleys. look for scattered showers develop in our mountain tops around the 4:00 hour. the rest of us will just see an increase in clouds. low 60s along the coast. 65 san francisco. upper 60s to low 70s through the
