The two remaining inmates who escaped from an Orange County jail last week have been captured in Northern California, authorities said Saturday morning.

Jonathan Tieu, 20, and Hossein Nayeri, 37, were arrested before 9 a.m. near Golden Gate Park by San Francisco police after officers spotted the 2008 white GMC Savana utility van that the inmates had stolen, according to authorities. One of the inmates fled but was captured a short time later.

No officers were injured during the pursuit or apprehension, officials said.
