Second Burglary Suspect Apprehended

Two out of the four suspects of a burglary that took place at approximately 10 a.m. this morning were detained this afternoon.

“The search was concluded at about 1:30 pm and resulted in the apprehension of two suspects who were booked for burglary at the South Gate Police Department,” wrote the South Gate Police Department in a recent press release.

The burglary, which took place in a private residence in 10200 block of Hunt Avenue, developed into a short pursuit when officers arrived on scene. The suspects left their burgundy colored vehicle on Central Avenue in Los Angeles, and proceeded to runaway on foot, taking refuge in residential housing around that area.

One suspect was found shortly after the search began, while another was found after more thorough search of the area, said Sgt. Edward Perez of the South Gate Police Department to City News Service.

The South Gate Police Department could not be reached for comment on the whereabouts of the status of the other two burglary suspects.
