Hello Stevenson Ranch. Here is your weekly report.

A petty theft (shoplifting) occurred on the 24900 block of Pico Cyn Rd. While conducting a pedestrian stop of a female adult, deputies learned that she had a warrant for her arrest. While booking the suspect at Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and inventorying the victim’s purse for storage, they found numerous clothing and cosmetic items in her purse which were new and still had price tags on them. The suspect admitted to stealing the items from a local store just prior to her arrest.

A burglary (shoplifting) occurred on the 25400 block of The Old Rd. A male adult attempted to leave the location with a backpack containing several items he did not pay for. He was arrested for burglary. While being interviewed regarding the incident, he stated that an adult male told him he would pay him $50.00 if he stole the items for him.

Tip of the week: Halloween Safety

Halloween is just around the corner! Here are some tips to make it a good and safe one:

1. If you have small children who will be trick-or-treating, be sure that they have proper supervision. Assist them when crossing the streets at night, and give them a flashlight or glow stick to make them more visible.

2. If you have older children who will be going out without supervision, be sure they go with a group of friends. (Safety in numbers.) Discuss with them what streets they will be going on, and have a return home time established. Assure that they have a fully charged cell phone, and that they carry a flashlight or glow stick.

3. After your children have returned form trick-or-treating, inspect their candy and assure that it has not been tampered with. I advise discarding anything that is not vacuum or heat sealed. Do not allow your children to eat anything during trick-or-treat until you have inspected it.

4. If you will be driving, reduce your speed in residential areas and be extra alert for pedestrians.

5. At the end of the night, bring in your valuable decorations and pumpkins to avoid being a victim of vandalism.

Have a great holiday, and stay safe!
