UPDATE: 3 Arrested After Stolen Sailboat Washes Ashore In Pacifica

PACIFICA, Calif. (AP) -- Police have arrested three people who were trapped on a stolen, 82-foot yacht that ran aground on a Northern California beach.

News reports said that two men and a woman were arrested by Pacifica police on Monday, hours after the sailboat "Darlin"' got stuck in shallow water at low tide.

The boat's owner reported the vessel stolen from Sausalito after seeing television news coverage of it running aground at Pacifica State Beach.

The Coast Guard and police responded and surrounded the vessel on land and in the water, and eventually managed to get the suspects off the vessel.

The boat's owner was en route to Pacifica, the Coast Guard said.
