Irondale and BPD officers arrived on the scene when they learned three suspects were involved in the theft of a pickup truck left running at the location. The pickup truck had a 4-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy inside.
BPD officers along with Tarrant PD officers and the U.S. Marshals Service responded to a residence in the 1700 Block of Burgin Avenue. Officers took two of the three suspects into custody.
