No one was physically injured during the incident.
Officers tracked the suspects to a residence in the 800 block of Jos Janisse Ave. and called in members of our Emergency Services Unit (ESU) to set up a perimeter around the property. A short time later, three males and a female exited the home and were taken into custody without incident.
