Wheaton police: Suspects in custody after automated phone message

Suspects were in custody Sunday in connection with a residential burglary in Wheaton that prompted authorities to send out an automated phone message, police said.

Some residents reported receiving a robocall Sunday night warning them to stay inside and be on alert. The message was sent out through the DuPage County sheriff's office, though the burglary occurred in Wheaton, police said.

All suspects were in custody as of 9:20 p.m., police said. Additional information was not immediately available.
