A black BMW sedan (2008-2013 M3 model, e92) with tinted windows and a parachute device on the rear driver-side bumper
A white sport-style motorcycle with a rear camera pole attached

The driver of the black BMW: a Middle Eastern male, early 20s, with a mustache and long dark hair in a bun.
The motorcyclist: wearing black skinny jeans, white sneakers, a black hoodie with a large white graphic and lettering on the back, and a black helmet.
Police are asking residents along Elm Ave between Governor Rd and Ridge Rd, and those on Ridge Rd, to check their home surveillance systems for any footage of these suspect vehicles.

‘Simple' traffic stop in Vallejo over high beam lights leads to fugitive's arrest
(KRON) — A BMW driving with its high beam lights on caught the attention of Vallejo Police Department patrol officers over the weekend, leading to an arrest for multiple firearm violations, according to authorities. The officers observed the silver BMW X5 on Saturday driving with its high beams activated, which police said is 'used as a common tactic for some drivers to conceal a malfunctioning headlight.' The car then allegedly made an illegal U-turn over double solid yellow lines before officers initiated a traffic stop for both violations. The woman who was found behind the wheel had a suspended driver's license for driving under the influence, VPD said. Her passenger, a San Pablo man, had a felony warrant out of Fairfield for possessing an illegal firearm. During a search of the man, officers said they found a fully loaded, unregistered firearm with a high-capacity magazine tucked into his waistband. The man was arrested and booked into the Solano County Jail for the felony warrant and multiple firearm violations. The driver was cited for driving on a suspended license and released at the scene. Her BMW was towed. 'This case is a testament to the fact that even a simple traffic stop can lead to the removal of illegal firearms from our streets,' Vallejo police said.

Iran's supreme leader slams US nuclear proposal, says it will continue to enrich uranium
Iran's supreme leader has denounced a proposal by the United States aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear efforts and demanded that his country retains independence amid reports of Washington offering to become involved in Tehran's nuclear program. Despite several rounds of talks between the two sides to thrash out a new nuclear deal major sticking points remain, with Iran insisting on its right to nuclear enrichment. 'The first word of the US is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry and should rely on the United States,' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a crowd gathered in Tehran to commemorate the death of Imam Khomeini, the founder of Iran's Islamic Republic. 'Our response to the US' nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter,' he said. The US sent a nuclear deal proposal to Iran on Saturday. CNN has learned this suggests the US could invest in Iran's civilian nuclear power program and join a consortium that would oversee the enrichment of low-level uranium inside Iran for an unspecified amount of time. That potential consortium would be expected to include Middle Eastern nations and the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency. Khamenei said Wednesday that Iran is refusing to allow the United States to give a 'green or red light' with its nuclear program and stressed on 'national independence.' A senior Iranian official told CNN on Monday that the US proposal is 'incoherent and disjointed, very unrealistic, and with excessive demands.' US President Donald Trump said on Monday, seemingly contrary to what was proposed to Iran, that the deal will not allow uranium enrichment. 'Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM,' Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. Iran's supreme leader added on Wednesday that his country has been 'able to achieve a complete nuclear energy cycle,' a feat only achieved by a few countries. 'Uranium enrichment is an essential part of the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, and we will not abandon it,' Khamenei said. Iran and the US concluded a fifth round of high-stakes nuclear talks in Rome on May 23 amid growing skepticism in Tehran about the chances of a deal. After that round of discussions, the two sides 'agreed to meet again in the near future,' a senior US administration official said at the time.
