SEAL BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- Two alleged robbery suspects were taken into custody in Seal Beach after leading police on a dangerous pursuit early Sunday morning.

Huntington Beach police responded to a report of a burglary at an AT&T store at 4:53 a.m.

Minutes later, they spotted a suspicious vehicle driving northbound on Goldenwest Street and attempted to make a stop, but the suspects failed to yield to police and a short pursuit ensued.

The suspects then crashed on the southbound 405 Freeway near the 22 Freeway and attempted to flee on foot, California Highway Patrol officials said.

Both suspects, who were believed to be armed, were detained near Leisure World after reportedly running toward the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station.
