Costa Mesa police spent several hours searching for a person who may have taken shelter in a van after an injury that left blood outside the vehicle, police said.

Police received a call of suspicious circumstances about 7 a.m. after someone saw a person exiting a van parked in a commercial parking lot where Sunflower Avenue dead ends near the San Diego (405) Freeway, according to a witness and police Lt. Bob Ciszek.

Police discovered blood outside the van and said it was possible an injured homeless person tried to take shelter from the rain.
