Four burglary suspects — including one who ended up in a standoff with SWAT officers — were arrested Wednesday in Long Beach.

Officers in the area of 31st Street and Oregon Avenue about 3:05 p.m. saw a possible burglary in progress, according to Sgt. Brad Johnson of the Long Beach Police Department.

“Additional units were requested and three suspects were taken into custody with a fourth suspect outstanding,” Johnson said.

The fourth suspect was believed to be within a perimeter and was later spotted at a home, prompting a SWAT team to be called for a possible barricade situation, according to Johnson

The suspect was taken into custody about 5:55 p.m., Johnson said.

None of the suspects was immediately identified nor were their ages and genders disclosed.
