Two of the subjects were later arrested in the City of Hollywood, shortly after the incident. A third subject turned himself in to Santa Clarita Station Detectives the following day.

A grand theft occurred near the 29500 block of Abelia Road. A male suspect, pretending to be the victim’s grandson, called and asked for money to be wired for medical bills after being involved in a traffic accident.
