Law enforcement officers have taken a vandalism suspect into custody after a standoff in front of a North Highlands 7-Eleven store Monday morning.

Deputies encountered the suspect at the 7-Eleven store near Elkhorn Boulevard and Walerga Road. A standoff ensued with the suspect barricading himself in his vehicle and refusing to get out.

Around 6:30 a.m., deputies took the suspect into custody.
The identity of the suspect has not been released.
