Sneaker collection sparks SWAT situation

A sneaker collection was at the center of a three-hour standoff with Pittsburgh police Saturday.

Two juvenile suspects allegedly tried to steal a large number of tennis shoes from a home in Lawrenceville.

Police responded to the scene just after 6:30 p.m.

Police entered the home and didn’t find any additional suspects, although they originally thought two more suspects were inside. The incident ended around 9 p.m.

Nobody inside the house was injured.
