Two men in Ronald Reagan masks and one teenage boy were taken into custody following a residential burglary Monday in Glendale, the Glendale Police Department said.

An officer in the area located the vehicle at the corner of Glendale and Lexington. The driver, a 17-year-old boy and the two passengers, 20-year-old Gagik Sarkisjan and 18-year-old Narek Martirosyan, were detained. A vehicle search revealed the two Ronald Reagan masks, a replica firearm and jewelry and credit cards belonging to the victim.
