Deputies assigned to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station responded to a possible kidnapping that had just occurred Thursday at about 7 p.m. in the 24200 block of Arch Street in Newhall.
A male adult allegedly grabbed hold of a 3-year-old girl by reaching through a bedroom window at the girl’s residence. The suspect then allegedly ran down the street holding onto the 3-year-old. Family members chased the suspect and were able to regain custody of the child.
Once on scene, SCV Sheriff’s deputies acted quickly and chased the suspect further down the street. Deputies set up a containment of the area where the suspect was then ultimately apprehended and arrested without incident.
The 3-year-old girl, although startled, was unharmed in the incident.
The name and age of the suspect are not being released at the time as this investigation is ongoing. It appears there is no relation between the suspect and the 3-year-old victim or her family. Deputies will remain on-scene through the late evening hours to further this investigation and gather additional evidence.
Deputies are asking if you have any additional information regarding this incident, or if you witnessed this incident to please call the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station as soon as possible at 661-255-1121. If you would like to remain anonymous, please call the LA Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Wow. How terrifying. Thank you God.
God had nothing to do with it. Thank the sheriffs….
Really? They weren’t the ones that caught the guy as he was stealing that little one. They just apprehended him. Sorry you don’t have belief in divine intervention. Must be lonely.
God had everything to do with keeping that little girl safe! <3
Utterly horrifying possibilities. Makes me glad to live in a two story…
Latters….
Play that scenario out in your head. Really. Give it some in-depth thought.
He’ll get a slap on the wrist and then back at it again. THAT is truly terrifying. The next victim might not be so lucky. Anyone who would yank a child out of their bed for god knows what purpose ought to be put down. Permanently.
That is exactly what is going to happen thanks to Gov. Brown
Yep. Him and prisoner advocate groups.
That’s why the ghetto bird was overhead !!

I don’t know where it is exactly, I’m not too familiar with Newhall. Although, it’s SO alarming because we’re not that far from where it happened!!
How scary!!!
How is this guy not beaten so badly he’s not in the hospital before jail?!?!?
How awesome they chased him down ! Good for those people ! He’d be a mangled mess if I chased him down
Scary. The male family members should have beat him to a pulp.
