Authorities in Baton Rouge discovered the alleged plot while responding to a burglary at a pawn shop early Saturday morning, Baton Rouge Police Chief Carl Dabadie said at a news conference. The first suspect arrested told police that "the reason the burglary was being done was to harm police officers." Police arrested three suspects and were seeking a possible fourth suspect accused of stealing several handguns as part of what authorities Tuesday described as "substantial, credible threat" to harm police officers in the Baton Rouge area. Police didn't immediately release the names of the suspects but said they all are from Baton Rouge and all are black. The third suspect arrested was a 13-old boy who was apprehended on a street.
