During the standoff, 9 people were found inside and Warford was found hiding in the attic. 

Two men and two women were taken into custody. 

Many residents were unable to get to, or out of their homes during the standoff. 

One neighbor said she was worried about her children's safety with this type of activity happening. 

"I am very scared, because I am very protective of my kids, and each time that they're going to school, either drop them or watch them get on the bus, watch them get out of the bus just because of this kind of situation." said Esther Etumudor. 

Police say they believe Warford is the final suspect arrested in a burglary ring in Tulsa.
