The unit's on Lee, the person we have here on Adams is giving an address of 311 West Adams, adjacent to 311 West Elm. Neighbors here on the Lee Street address, I've seen surveillance footage. It's hard to give descriptions of them. I've sent out a video to a group chat. Three came out of this vehicle, and one of them did jump into the Lee Street yard. The other two separated, one into the wash to the south. There was somebody on surveillance jumping into this backyard at the Lee Street address. How many do we have detained?
