Four men were arrested after allegedly burglarizing a home in Westminster on Thursday.

According to Commander Michael Harvey of the WPD, the incident took place shortly after noon, with the reported location of 16000 block of Galaxy Drive (northwest of Magnolia Street and Heil Avenue).

The incident began when LA IMPACT (Los Angeles Interagency Apprehension Crime Task Force) detectives received information that a suspected burglary group was planning to hit a house in Westminster.

Once it was confirmed the burglary had taken place, LA IMPACT detectives followed the suspect vehicle to the area of Beach Boulevard and the San Diego (405) Freeway interchange.

WPD officers arrived in the area of Beach and McFadden Avenue and sought to make a traffic stop, but the vehicle didn’t yield.

A short pursuit followed and a “minor” traffic accident took place in the area of Bushard Street and Heil Avenue in Fountain Valley. Four of the suspects suffered minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals.

Another motorist involved was taken to a hospital “for precautionary reasons.” 

Several detective, officers and air support from he Anaheim Police Department combined to take the four suspects into custody. They were booked at Orange County Jail on charges of residential burglary, possession of burglary tools, conspiracy to commit a crime, possession of stolen property and felony evading.

The exact identification of the suspects is unknown and pending.

Anyone who may have information about other residential burglaries in the area is asked to call Detective David Ramirez at (714) 548-3805.
