Multiple other units arrived and a total of seven suspects were apprehended in the surrounding area.  The white van was processed for evidence and 28 packages containing store merchandise were recovered.

Additionally, high-end burglary tools such as grinders, bolt cutters, extended crow bars and floor jacks were found.

All seven suspects were arrested and transported to the Glendale City Jail for questioning and processing.  Six of the seven suspects who spoke to detectives admitted to unloading the packages from the delivery truck and putting them into their van, as well as fleeing from police on foot until they were taken into custody.

All suspects were charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools. All seven men are being held on a $50,000 secure bond.
