Three men wanted for burglary hid in a shed until deputies took them into custody. This was broadcast during the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, 2025.
A trio of suspected thieves were arrested Wednesday after they tried to hide from police officers in a backyard tool shed at the end of a chase in Simi Valley.
The chase began sometime before 4:30 p.m. after law enforcement responded to a report of a retail theft. It's unclear if the group got away with anything.
While trying to evade police, the group traveled at high speeds on the freeway in a black Mercedes. They eventually pulled to the side of the 118 Freeway and ditched the vehicle then scaled the wall that divided the freeway and a residential neighborhood.
The group made their way into the backyard of a home on the 2400 block of Woodhaven Court and tried to hide from officers in a tool shed in the backyard. After spending about 15 minutes in the shed, all three suspects eventually surrendered to law enforcement.
