ALTON, TEXAS -- A standoff ended peacefully Thursday with several robbery suspects in Alton.

The robbery happened at a Pocket Communications store in the area.

Hidalgo County Sheriff's Deputies found the getaway car used by the suspects and arrested one person in the vehicle.

Deputies said the suspect told them where to find the three other suspects.

Authorities went to a home on 5 1/2 Mile Line and Bryan Road to find them and that's when the three hour standoff began.

All four suspects were arrested and will be formally charged Friday.
