AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin Police Department (APD) said all suspects are in custody following a barricaded subject SWAT call in northeast Austin on Monday afternoon.
The incident began after the APD Violent Crime Task Force was conducting surveillance on "a few" robbery suspects at the Sleep Inn & Suites in the 8400 block of E. US Hwy. 290 westbound service road, according to police. The call came in at approximately 11:54 a.m., police said.
Officers made contact with one suspect who was inside one of the rooms at the suites. The suspects refused to come out, and SWAT was contacted because of indications suspects had weapons on them, APD said.
SWAT later took control of the scene and was able to place all suspects into custody and come to a peaceful resolution.
Police said the suspects were wanted in connection with several violent robberies across Austin.
