2 AR-15s, Other Weapons Stolen from CHP Officer’s Car in Santa Clarita Valley
| Tuesday, Aug 27, 2013

logo_chpSix weapons and other items were stolen late Monday afternoon out of a CHP officer’s car, which was parked in a public parking lot in the Santa Clarita Valley.

It should be noted that all of the following information is preliminary. Officer Gomez, spokesman for the CHP’s Southern Division, was not authorized to comment on information that was made public in two official countywide crime broadcasts, the second of which corrected some faulty information in the first.

According to both crime broadcasts, the stolen weapons include two AR-15 semiautomatic rifles, two Remington shotguns and two Smith & Wesson .40 caliber handguns.

Also stolen were a bulletproof vest, handcuff keys and the officer’s CHP identification.

Some items were recovered near 120th Street and Central Avenue in Los Angeles. Specifically, the officer’s duty badge was recovered, but the weapons were not.

The suspect remains at large.

It is not known whether the burglarized car was a CHP patrol unit or the officer’s personal vehicle.

Although the incident occurred in the Santa Clarita Valley, SCV Sheriff’s officials said they had no information about it because CHP officers took the official police report and are handling the investigation themselves.

No further information is available as of Tuesday evening.

    Just part of the gun control program. Criminals shouldn’t have weapons so CHP will now be unarmed, like the mental midgets they support in Liberal politics.

    When the police have them they are ‘semi automatic weapons’ but ours are ‘assault rifles’. Good job media.

      It’s highly doubtful that we ever called your AR-15s “assault rifles.” We’d only use that term if we were inside a quote from some politician.

    I notice when the threft is in Stevenson Ranch it is Ssnta clarita, but when it is in Canyon Country they arre sure to tell you how BAD the east side of town is. There is such a bias in this town.

      It is not in Stevenson Ranch, if KTLA is correct about the location (and that’s a big “if.”) Claim Jumper is in Valencia. Stevenson Ranch starts at (west of) The Old Road, not the freeway.The area between the freeway and Old Road is Valencia.

        Actually, you are wrong. All the tax reveune from the shopping center on the Old Road goes to the County, not the City of Santa Clarita. Claim Jumper, Walk Mart and every other business in that center is on County property.

          It is unincorporated L.A. County. It is also Valencia. It is in the Valencia Marketplace, which is in Valencia. Just like Valencia-Westridge is in Valencia. Part of Valencia is in the city of Santa Clarita and part is not.
