A suspect was not found when a sheriff's Special Weapons Team entered the house in Bassett he ran into hours earlier, a sheriff's deputy said today.

A standoff began around 2:40 p.m. Thursday in the 13900 block of Lomitas Avenue, near Industry, said Deputy Peter Gomez of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.

"Our deputies were in the area looking for a suspect who ran into a home so we established a perimeter and called in a unit from the Special Enforcement Bureau," said sheriff's Sgt. Robert Boese of the Industry Station.

The barricade ended about 10:30 p.m. Thursday and the perimeter was broken down, said Deputy Crystal Hernandez of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
