Sheriff's Now Say No Female Suspects in Diamond Bar Burglary, One Male Suspect Sought

One male burglary suspect is still on the run and two are in custody after a home invasion burglary reported in the 23000 block of Chandelle Place Monday afternoon.

Sheriff's initially reported incorrectly that one of the suspects arrested was female because he has "long hair and a smaller frame," according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker.

The suspect that remains on the loose is described as a 20 to 22-year-old male standing approximately 6 feet tall and weighing 220 pounds.

Parker said the two in custody are an 18-year-old and 25-year-old male, both residents of Los Angeles.

Sheriff's received a burglary-in-progress call from the home at 1:18 p.m., when residents said they heard a loud sound at the front door.

When Sheriff's officers arrived at the scene, three suspects were discovered fleeing from the home.

Two of the suspects were carrying large bags that were dropped while the suspects ran and the items in the bags were later confirmed as belonging to the Chandelle home.

Police contained the neighborhood and Sgt. Marc Saunders of the Walnut/Diamond Bar Station asked administrators at the nearby  to keep children past the scheduled 2:15 p.m. dismissal and plan a .

Police recovered a sport-utility getaway vehicle that was parked at the curb in front of the Chandelle home.

An said the vehicle had Oklahoma license plates. Lt. Steve Katz — the newly-appointed head of the Walnut/Diamond Bar Detective Bureau — said at the scene that the vehicle had California license plates.

The search then led officers to discover a broken window with blood on the glass at a home on Gold Rush Drive, which prompted K-9 and SWAT units to search the home.

The residents were not home at the time of the search.

Two male suspects — one with longer hair, who was identified in previous reports as a female — were found in the attic of the home and refused to surrender to Sheriff's.

The officers used pepper spray on the suspects, which brought one suspect down. The other suspect became "assaultive," according to police reports, and a K-9 dog was used to bite the suspect to stop him.

Both suspects were transported to a local hospital for medical treatment before they were to be booked at the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff's station, according to Lt. Katz.

Sheriff's did not release the names or booking information of the suspects as of 7 a.m. Tuesday.
