The suspects were taken into custody early this afternoon in the 13600 block of Racine Avenue, according to South Gate police Capt. Darren Arakawa. Their names were not immediately released.

A South Gate resident called police this morning to report that he had interrupted a burglary in his garage, and the investigation led to the Paramount residence, Arakawa said.
