A 34-year-old Costa Mesa man was arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of crashing a stolen car into at least two parked vehicles.

Costa Mesa police officers responded to the 2000 block of Tustin Avenue at about 6:15 a.m. after witnesses reported that the driver had run away after the crash, police said.

A suspect, Joshua Thomas Long, was found nearby.

Officers determined that the vehicle being driven — a 2013 Hyundai sedan — had been reported stolen from the 200 block of Cabrillo Street.
