INDUSTRY - Three suspects accused of attempting to burglarized a business while armed are in custody Tuesday morning.

Deputies responded to the 1500 block of Gale Avenue near Hacienda Boulevard around 8:49 a.m. and detained three suspects dressed in all black inside of an SUV at gunpoint, according to Sgt. Dubusky of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s industry Station.

While the witness who viewed the suspects on camera claimed they were armed with rifles and handguns, Dubusky said that at least one loaded weapon was recovered.

The witness who provided details of the crime in progress to deputies said that the suspects spray-painted security cameras over to prevent them from being seen, Dubusky told SGV CityWatch.

Dubusky is still awaiting further details regarding the type of weapons the suspects were armed with, as detectives are still at the scene investigating.

There is currently no threat to the public.

INDUSTRY – A reported suspicious device seen fixed to a light pole at an Industry shopping center was supposed to be there, a Sheriff’s sergeant said Tuesday.

Deputies were called to a business complex near Almahurst Street and Hanover Road Monday, November 14 at 8:50 p.m.

“Responding units went out there. They determined it was a Southern California Edison device. It was meant to be there, so it wasn’t a suspicious item,” according to Sgt. Dubusky of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Industry Station.

Nearby stores were reportedly evacuated while deputies contained the scene.

Members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Arson/Explosives Detail cleared the scene at 1:50 a.m. Tuesday.
