Three of four males wanted for a pair of residential burglaries in San Gabriel were in custody Thursday after leading officers on a chase and abandoning their car on a freeway in Boyle Heights, police said.
The chase, which was initiated by Torrance police who were conducting surveillance in San Gabriel, began at 7:38 p.m. Wednesday, according to the San Gabriel Police Department. The nature of the Torrance Police investigation was not immediately reported.
