SAN ANTONIO — Multiple suspects were arrested, and other persons of interest are being sought by police after a home invasion on the Northwest Side by a group of youth, according to police.

An officer at the scene said the suspects, all members of what was referred to by police as a "kid gang," attempted to burglarize a home on Valley Dale Drive around 12:15 p.m.

Witnesses saw the suspects enter the home and notified police.

By the time officers arrived, the suspects scattered, all trying to make it back to a home in the 7200 block of Hardesty.

With the help of a helicopter unit, officers were able to track down and arrest at least three of the suspects at different homes in the neighborhood.

One of the suspects allegedly tried to run away from an officer who had located him, and then fought with the officer before being arrested.

Officers said there are still two other persons of interest whom they are trying to locate.

The suspects are well known to officers in the area, police said, as they have committed numerous burglaries and thefts in the area before.

It is unclear if the suspects took any property from the home on Valley Dale.

Police declined to release the ages of the suspects.

A detective on the scene also said a dog was found tied up and hadn't been properly fed in the backyard of the property. Police believe it was stolen by the youth.

Anyone who recognizes the dog is asked to call the San Antonio police department's property crime's unit.
