A burglary suspect, who had barricaded himself inside a Pacoima home, was arrested on Thursday morning after a fire broke out.
The hours-long barricade began around 2:40 a.m. when police received a call about a burglary at a home in the 13200 block of Piney Street.
Aerial footage showed SWAT teams trying to enter the home from the side when flames ignited. Thick black smoke quickly began coming out of the windows. It is unclear how the fire started.
Members from SWAT also used a robot to try and gain access to the home. Shortly before 8 a.m., authorities entered the home and took the suspect into custody. It is unknown if the man was armed.
The LAPD said the homeowners were inside the home at the time of the burglary but were able to get out safely. Police also believe the suspect allegedly entered another home as well.
