A man was arrested Saturday night after the owner of a stolen vehicle tracked it to Santa Clarita and found several people allegedly taking items out of it.
The vehicle had initially been reported stolen to the Los Angeles Police Department, according to Sgt. Justin Boosalis with the SCV Sheriff’s Station. Instead of waiting for officers to recover it, the owner began tracking the car on his own and drove to its location in Canyon Country.
At around 8:13 p.m., the owner called the SCV Sheriff’s Station from Whites Canyon Rd. & Ranier St., reporting that multiple people were taking belongings from the vehicle as he attempted to retrieve it.
“When they showed up, there was someone removing stuff from their car,” said Sgt. Boosalis. “When we showed up, they arrested one guy and detained several others.”
Deputies said the owner was able to get his car back while waiting for law enforcement to arrive. Four individuals were detained, and one man was arrested and taken to the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station.
**Editor’s Note:** As of Sunday at 3:00 p.m., no additional information is available regarding this incident.
