Two men led police on a high-speed chase into Stansbury Park Saturday morning.

Sgt. Dave Garcia of the Tooele County Sheriff's Office was patrolling on the east side of Erda around 8 a.m. when he spotted three suspicious vehicles. He pulled over an older-model blue Jeep Cherokee, and when he ran its license plate he discovered the car was stolen. The driver, Simone Junior Toko, 22, of West Bountiful, drove away before Garcia had an opportunity to approach the vehicle.

As a high-speed chase began, Garcia said he was pursued by a newer-model white Cadillac driven by Sione Vatuvie, 21, of Salt Lake as he followed the Jeep to SR-36 and then north to Stansbury Park, where Toko then turned west down Village Boulevard.

Toko eventually abandoned the Jeep on Pebble Beach, a residential street just north of Village Boulevard, and hijacked a brown Chevy Suburban with a male passenger inside, Garcia said.

"He told the driver he had a gun and to drive," Garcia said.

At this point, the Suburban and the Cadillac sped off in separate directions, each being pursued by law enforcement.

Tooele County Sheriff Frank Park said the owner of the Suburban fled from his vehicle at his first opportunity, and Toko then slid over into the driver's seat and continued driving. The Suburban traveled through the neighborhood a few blocks before backing into a car parked in a driveway. Toko then fled on foot through adjoining backyards, climbing fences between properties.

At approximately 10 a.m., police caught up with Toko on the same road where the Suburban had been left, and took him into custody.

Garcia said the Cadillac crashed into a vinyl fence on Village Boulevard and Vatuvie was also arrested. The Cadillac was registered to a member of Vatuvie's family.

Another vehicle, a brown Buick, fled from the scene in Erda.

Both Toko and Vatuvie were booked into the Tooele County Jail. Toko was charged with aggravated burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle, evading police, aggravated robbery and reckless driving. Vatuvei was charged evading police, according to Park.
