LOS ANGELES (CNS) – A burglary suspect who had barricaded himself inside a home near the University of Southern California was arrested after an hours-long standoff, authorities said today. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers responded to the 700 block of West 30th Street, one block west of Figueroa Street, around 6 p.m. Thursday to a report of a burglary suspect who was arrested at the location but later returned to the area and barricaded himself. It was unclear when the suspect was previously taken into custody. Los Angeles Fire firefighters arrived at the scene around 6:35 p.m. Thursday to investigate and extinguish a fire in a two-story craftsman-style home with visible smoke. “The smoke seen at first has now ceased and dissipated without LAFD involvement,” LAFD spokesman Nicholas Prange said. Video footage showed the suspect on the outside of the home at times and on the roof of the residence, where he refused officers commands to surrender. The man was lured back into the home with snacks provided at the scene and eventually surrendered to police just after 11 p.m. Thursday, CBS reported.
