With the assistance of the Green and Grey Teams all occupants of the vehicle were detained. The suspects were also arrested for BFMV because stolen property was found in the vehicle that was linked to a reported crime that occurred in Los Angeles.
On 2/10/10, a burglary was interrupted on Caroline Avenue by a neighbor who was able to obtain the license plate number to the suspect vehicle as it fled. The vehicle was found to have been taken in a carjacking in the city of Long Beach. Forensic Services Supervisor Joi Dickerson was called out to process the residence and was successful in lifting fingerprints. The fingerprints were processed which
resulted in a positive ID match to a Long Beach suspect. This information was forwarded to Long Beach PD. Shortly thereafter we were notified that LASO had located the suspect vehicle and that there was an exchange of gunfire between the deputies and the suspects. All suspects were ultimately apprehended along with our burglary suspect.

Moments later, Officer Solve Loken observed the vehicle occupied by both suspects. A traffic stop was conducted where both suspects were positively identified by the victim.
