Barricade situation underway in Anaheim

A barricade situation was underway in Anaheim Friday morning following the pursuit of an armed robbery suspect.

A police chase involving a group of suspected bank robbers ended in an hours-long standoff just a short walking distance from Angel Stadium in Anaheim.

Officials with the Brea Police Department said they were called to a bank robbery Friday and shortly after arriving at the scene, a police chase was initiated.

The suspect proceeded to lead authorities southbound to Anaheim to the intersection of State College Boulevard and Gene Autry Way. 

An Anaheim resident called FOX 11 and said they received an alert from management at their apartment building and were told to shelter in place due to the pursuit termination and that the suspect ran into the apartment building. 

Around 7:15 p.m., the Anaheim Police Department announced the search for the suspects ended and eventually, the roads were cleared to reopen safely.

The identities of the suspects have not been released. Officials did not say how the standoff ultimately ended.
