she was arrested after she crashed her stolen bmw into a tree during a high-speed chase with police. also taken into custody, her two passengers, a man and another woman, who police believe is pregnant. earlier this morning, the suspt used an eight-inch revolver to rob a suspect. the p.d. immediately suspected it was the same woman that robbed two 7-elevens a month ago. during thoesz crimes, she dumped her stolen vehicle at an apartment complex on the east side. one of the officers remembered that. >> i believe the suspect thought they got away with it the first time, when they didn't. we figured this might be the same suspect from a month ago. we went to the area where she had dumped the previous stolen vehicle and sure enough, she showed up. >> reporter: the officer flashed its lights at the stolen beamer, recognized the suspect. there was a high-speed chase.

the suspect crashed her vehicle into that tree. right after the crash, the pregnant woman we are told surrendered right away. the man tried to run but police cut them off. police tell us that inside the car, they did find the gun along with the stolen money and lottery tickets. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." a daring escape after ten years held hostage inside a house in ohio. three women waking up to freedom thanks to this desperate 911 call. >> we are going to search as soon as we get the car open. >> i need them now before he gets back. >> that is the frantic phone call police dispatchers heard from one of the three missing women inside the house. marla, good morning. all three women, amanda berry, gina dejesus and michele

involved. we may see that clear as soon as the investigation does clear as far as the coroner is concern. they cannot clear that scene until that paperwork is done. we do see the big, big slowdown coming out of the southbound direction from pleasanton through sunol. this is your southbound commute, 680 out of the 580 interchange, slow as well. the backup approaching vargas road, slow up the grade past the golf course and originating at the bottom of the commute at pleasanton. you can use 84 if you want. if you can, use 580. building up out of the castro valley, we are seeing a heavier flow even for a tuesday through this area. also, a crash south of there for 880. watch that if you are heading through fremont. one quick live look outside. the backup and metering lights are on, backed up to west grand avenue. thank you very much. >> happening right now, a news

conference about the three women that have been found after nearly a decade of being held in an ohio home. since we did not experience as a community but for them, it is a traumatic experience. we need to give them room in this. i will introduce you to the director. good morning. last night, just prior to 6:00 p.m., cleveland police communication center received two calls. one from a neighbor to the house and the second call from amanda berry, one of the missing women. an incident was created in our communications center at 5:52:33. a police car was dispatched at 5:52:49. the first police responders arrived at the scene just under two minutes later at 5:54:07.

by 5:58, the responding officers have identified gina dejesus and amanda berry as having been located at the home. one minute later, they announced they had also recovered safely, michele knight. all three of the missing women had a 6-year-old child belonging to one of the missing women was conveyed to metro health medical center where they were being treated there and provided care. immediately after learning for the incident, we began an immediate search of our database as we determined what information we had regarding this specific address. we have no information in particular. we went back and looked for all the emergency medical calls. our fire response says 2006, as far back as our database exists. we found there were no calls for service. we checked our building and housing department to ewhether or not there were any building code violations or complaints

made about that address and there were no complaints or violations identified. we went back to look the apolice calls or service and did learn in march of 2000, ariel castro, one of the individuals in custody currently, reported to the police that there was a fight in the street. there is no record of any arrest being made for the police response. in january, of 2004, as a result of an investigation -- we'll find out more as this progresses throughout the day and have more coming up in a live report as marla tallez is monitoring everything for us. so much information. >> about a ten-year nightmare. unbelievable. 6:12. much more on "today in the bay." protecting planned parenthood. we are going to tell you which bay area city could take an extreme step to shield patients.

routine demonstrations where he says women have been harassed and intimidated. demonstrators say, we are just letting people know there are alternatives. they are not stopping anyone. >> we believe that strikes the right balance between protecting access without intimidation but at the same time allowing from free speech. >> now, you have people screaming from 25-feet away instead of from a quieter zone. >> reporter: they say the new buffer zone could be marked by signage and paint. repeat offenders could face jail time and even a fine up to $1,000. it needs at least six votes to pass. so far, nine supervisors have said they will sport it. the group anonymous says it will launch a record number of hack attacks against banks today attacks from china and possibly syria as well.

scott mcgrew, the syrians had an odd target. >> the onion's twitter feed was hacked by people sympathetic to bashar al assad. they left their own attempts as a humorous onion headline. a group calling themselves the syrian army has hit npr, cbs and the "associated press." twitter is under growing press to do something. you have run into this with your bank's website. occasionally, you have to put in a special number sent by text message that proves you are you. in washington, the u.s. military spes luckily calling out china for the first time accusing the red army and the government there of full-scale hacking. we've known for a long time the chinese were a threat. the state department has said so. google was the first to accuse china specifically. the u.s. military has never pointed a direct finger at the

"today in the bay's" marla tallez joins us live in the newsroom with that and so much more information that came out of this. let's start with how the

women are dooliing today. despite this traumatic experience, they are in relatively good condition. all three women, amanda berry, gina dejesus and michele knight were being held at the home of 52-year-old ariel castro. he is under arrest and in custody along with his two brothers, 50-year-old o'neill castro and 54-year-old pedro castro. police say they are searching the properties other than the home where the girls were found yesterday. officials say the home has been in good stand with the city, no prior violations or complaints. police have been to the home twice before, once in 2000 before any girls disappeared and in 2004, a year after amanda berry was kidnapped. they were investigating ariel cas

casstro. >> he was a bus driver that inadvertently left a kid on the bus, went in for a lunch break and came back and found the young man. number two, our policies are solid. our policies have been revamped over the past few years. we are constantly looking at those policies in a way to improve them. >> the officer says he has been with the department for 28 years and says they have followed up on every lead. he says, over the years, they have even dug up a couple back yards after getting tips the girls were buried there. one other take ya qua frawa. they are saying she is the daughter of one of the women, they are not saying which one she is. she is a 6-year-old. you can get the latest information online, nbc bay area.com. we will closely be watching there. thank you very much.

the of the three kidnapped women in cleveland, eerily similar to the case of jaycee dugard found in antioch in 2009. phillip garrido and his wife, nancy, kidnapped the 11-year-old while she was walking to a bus stop from her south lake tahoe home in 1991. dugard was missing for more than 18 years. garrido and his wife kept her in their backyard in contra costa county until they were eventually arrested. both were convicted and are serving life sentences. coincidentally, jaycee dugard is being honored at the organizations annual hope awards in washington, d.c. nbc news is sending a camera to that event. >> time now, 6:47. we are watching that weather as we give you a live look outside at the golden gate bridge. traffic looks pretty good. a lot of clouds in the sky there. the gray outcast. christina loren is here to talk about what has happened ahead. we have had a mixed bag.

we are going to keep it going. we will tell you what's coming next, more showers, pop-up thunderstorms for today. then, we are going to heat you back up. a return of the dry heat. something we have had an absence of is fog. you may be familiar with the term, may gray, june gloom. now, the 7th day of may. we have had very little low cloud cover. we have a little bit more action today than what we saw yesterday. that's in the south end of california. so what we're watching for you is more showers, more thunderstorms popping up. a little red embedded within the yellow, little pop-up thunderstorm cells. we had some in the east bay. fair game for that again today. we are not going to see a whole lot of moisture. some unorganized pop-up cells as we head throughout the day today. you might find a pesky shower or two. you have to use your windshield wipers on your way to work. our core of low pressure. this area has nothing to push it

forward. it is detached from the jetstream. it is kind of sitting and fizzling. we get another storm system on its heels late in the weak. the cut-off low will continue to drive the:f! wrap-around showe into the bay area. you can see santa cruz mountains and the western slopes surrounding san jose getting a little more activity. between now and noon, most action will be confined to the south bay. up in the north bay, by 2:00 p.m., same deal as yesterday. we are starting to see the showers stream up north of the golden gate bridge. tonight, more stability. wednesday morning, a few isolated areas of showers. mostly cloudy skies tomorrow morning. highs will remain in the 70s, 73, livermore, 71, fremont. by tomorrow, holding on to the 70s. we will hit the 80s by friday.

saturday into mother's day, warming you up. not too hot. no extreme heat we had to deal with last week. let's check on that drive, extreme on a traffic tuesday. good morning, folks. over here towards 680. all this activity, tow truck, chp, some other voex involved have moved to the right-hand shoulder. still, a distraction. this is southbound 680 coming up past vargas road. let's show you the other side. here is the golf course area. these folks are slowing. right about there. that's about where the crash was all morning. that's what has this all backed up for traffic. look at how this plays out. the ripple effect throughout the bay area. we show the slowing coming out of sunol and pleasanton. more folks trying to make the escape on 84 through niles and 880 in fremont. causing more of a flow in the
