Police say a man whose car was stolen last week spotted the vehicle in Salinas. The man called police and said the person inside his stolen car had a gun, according to the Salinas Police Department.

Officers found the vehicle Friday night in the parking lot of a motel on the 100 block of John Street.

According to a press release, police say they found 36-year old Margaret LeLeua behind the wheel and saw a man going into a room at the motel.
