Metro Police searching for suspect in burglary

Officers are searching for a suspect in a burglary in the western valley this afternoon, Metro Police said.

Police received a report of people taking items out of a house near North Torrey Pines Drive and West Washington Avenue about 12:45 p.m., Metro Police Officer Laura Meltzer said.

The suspects fled in a vehicle before police arrived, Meltzer said.

A nearby patrol officer spotted a similar vehicle and attempted to make a stop, but the vehicle took off, Meltzer said.

Officers have set up a perimeter near Vegas Drive and North Michael Way, she said.

Air units, K-9 units and other officers were on scene, Meltzer said.

One male suspect was detained as officers searched for a second suspect, she said.
