Long Beach police found a pair of burglars hiding in the attic of a home near Compton College Wednesday afternoon, according to authorities.

Police said they were dispatched to the scene of the break-in around 1:40 p.m. When officers got to the home in the 200 block of Gardner Street, they were told a suspected burglar had gone inside.

“Officers immediately set up a containment of the area and K-9 units were called in to assist with the search,” Long Beach police spokeswoman Karen Owens said.

Officers found two men in the attic and arrested them, according to Owens.

Police identified the men as Michael Toloai, a 31-year-old from Long Beach, and Brandon Melbourne, a 26-year-old from California City.
