LAKEWOOD (CNS)- A man was arrested Friday in connection with a series of smash and grab burglaries in Lakewood after a brief standoff.
The burglary spree began when deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Lakewood Station received three calls regarding alarms going off at businesses near the intersection of Woodruff Avenue and South Street, Fox 11 reported. Two additional other location subsequently reported similar burglaries.
As deputies arrived at an Auto Zone at 4945 Woodruff Ave., they saw a blue vehicle with Tennessee plates idling in front of a neighboring 99 Cents Store, which they noticed had its windows broken, as did the other locations, authorities said. A man emerged from the store and began running away.
The suspect escaped and deputies created a perimeter at the scene. About an hour later, at 3:22 a.m., deputies found the suspect hiding in the yard of a residence at 5843 Silva St.
The suspect's name and age were not immediately known.
