HUNTINGTON BEACH — After an armed standoff that continued late into the night Wednesday, police arrested the last of six suspects on suspicion of robbing a bank earlier in the day in Huntington Beach.
A police SWAT team surrounded a Long Beach house throughout the evening, finally getting the last two suspects to surrender. No shots were fired.
At about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, six people stormed the Bank of Yorba Linda, displaying weapons and ordering seven employees and several customers to the floor. They took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled in two cars.
Huntington Beach police stopped one car headed north on the San Diego Freeway at the 7th Street exit in Long Beach. They arrested Liston Oswanio David, 32, of Los Angeles and Tracy Lorraine Hark, 33, of Carson on suspicion of possession of stolen property.
Later, a Seal Beach officer spotted another vehicle that matched the description of a car in the robbery and followed it into Long Beach. Two suspects were arrested as they tried to flee on foot. Two others ran into a nearby apartment, where a standoff ensued until they surrendered at 10:30 p.m.
The four arrested from the second car on suspicion of bank robbery were Marlin Edward Henderson, 26, Nicholas Rackley, 19, Jason Franklin, 23, and Brae Tucker, 19, all of Long Beach.
All six are being held at Huntington Beach Jail, police said, and charges are expected to be filed today.
