Shortly thereafter, Officers LaRocca and Muro spotted the suspect vehicle matching the description and license plate number dispatched and affected a traffic stop. Several other officers assisted in the traffic stop. Due to the nature of the call and the potential for officers to be in danger the two male suspects were taken out of the vehicle at gunpoint and detained.

A known male suspect exited the vehicle, broke into her vehicle, removed several items, and re-entered the black vehicle. As the suspect entered the vehicle she could see him holding her Iphone in one hand and her computer in the other hand. When she exited the home and went to get in her car both the suspect and the driver of the suspect vehicle pointed handguns at her and drove away. She then called the police and followed the suspect vehicle until she observed the police pull the car over.
The victim explained that she had ridden around with the suspects on prior occasions and that they keep guns insider the center console of the front of their vehicle. Officers searched the vehicle and located two handguns with magazines, several bullet casings, a scale possibly used to weigh narcotics, a glass pipe which is normally used to smoke methamphetamine and a key ring with shaved car keys.

The officers took all the items into evidence, took photos of the scene and booked it all into evidence at Ingleside station.

Officers Paras interviewed the initial reportee who told him while working he noticed a black purse which belonged to a fellow co-worker was on a table near the rear door and her office door was closed. The reportee advised that her office door is never closed when she is working so he became suspicious. He entered the office and saw a male kneeling down in the corner of the office. He asked the suspect what he was doing there and the suspect did not respond. The reportee then advised another co-worker that there was an intruder inside the office. The co-worker began yelling to advise the other workers that a trespasser was in the building and the male ran out of the building through the rear door, jump over a fence and run down Mission Street. This reportee was one of those transported to the scene where the suspect was detained and he positively identified him as the trespasser who was hiding in the office and ran away.
