Two men were arrested Monday night - including one man who police say pretended to be a fugitive - after an hourlong chase that took officers through the streets and backyards of a south Redding neighborhood.
Redding police were called about 9:20 p.m. to a report of two men trying to break into Northern California Recycling on Clear Creek Road, police Sgt. Mike Thomas said.

During the chase through the Westwood neighborhood off Highway 273, a resident apparently heard on an emergency radio scanner that police were looking for a man wearing khaki pants and a San Francisco 49ers sweatshirt.
Moravec said the man wondered if police would notice him if he went outdoors wearing the clothing of the suspect they were searching for.
"Well, we noticed him," Moravec said. Russell Spade, 41, of Redding was arrested on suspicion of obstructing and delaying a police officer, Moravec said.
