Three suspects were arrested Sunday evening after attempting to steal bicycles from a Los Cerritos neighborhood.

Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) officers responded to the scene near Pacific Ave. and Country Club Dr. around 7PM in regard to a street robbery, said LBPD spokeswoman Nancy Pratt.

Two men told police that their bicycles had been stolen from them by three male suspects. As officers were arriving at the scene, they saw the suspects flee the area, which initiated a foot pursuit. 

Two suspects were eventually found and taken into custody near San Antonio Dr. and Pine Ave. After a search with the assistance of the Fox helicopter and a K-9 unit, the third suspect was found hiding in the backyard of a residence in the 4100 block of Pacific Ave. and taken into custody.

LBPD stated the suspects were 21, 19 and 15 years of age.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to call the LBPD Robbery Detail at 562-570-7464.
