Two suspects were arrested after crashing through a security gate at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base in California during a police pursuit, authorities said.

The breach occurred when the suspects' vehicle crashed through the installation's gate while attempting to evade law enforcement. The incident prompted immediate security measures at the military base.

Following the breach, Camp Pendleton officials issued a temporary shelter-in-place order as authorities worked to secure the installation and locate the suspects. The order was implemented as a precautionary measure to protect personnel on the base.

A six-hour manhunt ensued across the Marine Corps facility as law enforcement and military personnel searched for the suspects. The extensive search operation involved multiple agencies working to apprehend the individuals who had unlawfully entered the military installation.

Authorities reported that the suspects were in possession of 112 pounds of cocaine and fentanyl at the time of their arrest. The suspects were eventually located and taken into custody, ending the security incident at the base.

Camp Pendleton, located in Southern California, is one of the largest Marine Corps bases in the United States and houses thousands of military personnel and their families.
