"Redford police responded to an armed robbery situation in their city. Troopers from the Metro Post responded. We became involved in a pursuit and we ended up at this location (in Detroit), where the suspects bailed from their vehicle," said Hart.

A state police K-9 unit tracked the suspects to the house on Wheelock. After a more than 13-hour standoff of trying to get the suspects to exit the home, officials found no one to be inside the home.

"We have one subject that did surrender," Hart said.
