MATTESON, Ill. (WLS) -- Four suspects are in custody following an hours-long standoff at a home in south suburban Matteson, Ill., Tuesday following an armed robbery, police said.

Matteson police said around 10:30 a.m., officers responded to an armed robbery call in the 21200-block of Maple Street. According to police, four offenders went into a home where three victims were staying and demanded money; two of the offenders were allegedly armed.
