Glendale Police Department’s SWAT team have cleared the scene after searching for armed burglary suspects Sunday morning. 

Police said they were packing up at about 11:30 a.m. and that the suspects had fled the scene, despite searching door to door in the area between 45th and 47th Avenues to Northern Avenue and Frier Drive. 

At about 10 a.m. residents had been advised to stay inside their homes as the police and K9 units searched for “armed and dangerous men.”
