FULLERTON ? Two burglary suspects held a family against its will in a Fullerton home while hiding from officers during a police search, authorities said Tuesday.
The search began about 11:15 a.m. Monday, when Huntington Beach detectives conducting surveillance of several men suspected of robbing residences in that city saw the men breaking into a home near State College Boulevard and Lambert Road in Brea, authorities said.
Brea and La Habra police officers set up a command post in front of an apartment complex at 570 Imperial Highway, Brea. A search was under way for three males suspected of burglarizing a home late Monday morning in a residential neighborhood, police said.

Three men fled from Huntington Beach detectives in a vehicle, as Brea police officers were called in for assistance. The men abandoned the vehicle near Imperial Highway and Puente Street and fled on foot into a residential tract in Fullerton.
Fullerton, Brea, La Habra and Huntington Beach police officials, with the assistance of a CHP helicopter, searched the area but were unable to locate the men.
About 4:30 p.m., after the search was over, Fullerton police received a call from the residents of a home in the 3900 block of Madonna Road who had been held against their will by two men, Fullerton police Sgt. Jeff Stuart said.
The men, who police believe entered the home through an unlocked door, are believed to have been the suspects sought in the earlier burglaries, Stuart said. Police suspect they hid in the home to avoid the search.
"They hunkered down in the house," Stuart said. "Once they left the residence, the homeowners called police."
No one in the residence was injured, Stuart said, and they gave no indication that the two men were armed.
Citing the active investigation, police declined to release descriptions of the men.
