Burglary suspects arrested after chase
EL MONTE -- Three suspects were arrested on suspicion of burglary Saturday after leading police on a pursuit, authorities said.
The incident began about 7:15 p.m. when officers responded to a burglary alarm at a business in the 9400 block of Telstar Avenue, El Monte police Lt. Charles Carlson said.
As officers arrived, they saw three suspects running to a vehicle while dropping computer equipment on the floor, Carlson said.
The suspected burglars got into a nearby car and fled, starting a pursuit that led to the 10, 605 and 210 freeways, Carlson said, where the chase was turned over to the California Highway Patrol.
Just before 8 p.m., CHP officials sent word that all three suspects were in custody, and they were en route to the El Monte Police Station late Saturday for booking, the lieutenant said.
Their names were not available late Saturday, nor were details on exactly where and how the chase ended.
