Raids Target Two Robbers

NBC 4: SWAT, troopers and the bomb squad were at a North Side apartment complex after officers found a live grenade while serving a search warrant. CPD SWAT was serving a search warrant on a burglary suspect on the 2400 block of Goldengate Square in the Abbey Lane Apartment complex. Columbus police evacuated one apartment building, knocking on the doors of about 20 apartments Thursday morning. The evacuation lasted for about two to two-and-a-half hours. Authorities also stopped northbound Cleveland Avenue traffic. A male burglary suspect was arrested from the address. Apparently, police were tipped off that a vehicle with electronics and other items was sitting in an apartment parking lot. Police impounded the vehicle. Authorities said the suspect kept calling about the vehicle so authorities released it to him and followed him back to the Abbey Lane complex and saw him taking allegedly stolen goods out of the vehicle. A female suspect also was apprehended at the apartment on outstanding warrants. Costume jewelry reportedly was found in the apartment Thursday.
