Public Safety and Crime Prevention Information for the week of 06/01/15 to 06/07/2015

 

The following crimes are currently being investigated by Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station detectives:

A vandalism and petty theft occurred near the 16700 block of Tiara Ct., Canyon Country. The victim believes his son, who previously lived at the location, damaged his (victim’s) property and stole items from his residence.

An armed robbery occurred near the 17000 block of Sierra Hwy., Canyon Country. The suspects stole a large amount of money from the victim and fled on foot.

An armed robbery occurred near the 18400 block of Oak Canyon Rd., Canyon Country. The suspects stole the victim’s cellular phone then fled from the scene in a vehicle.

A grand theft occurred at a business located near the 16500 block of Soledad Cyn Rd., Canyon Country. The suspect, who represented himself as a law enforcement official, called the victim and stated he (victim) had a bench warrant for a failure to appear for jury duty. The victim was instructed to withdrawal the money from his bank account and then purchase “Reload it” money cards. The victim provided the suspect with the account numbers of the money cards before realizing he had been scammed.

A burglary occurred near the 18100 block of Sundowner Way, Canyon Country. Suspect(s) unknown entered the victim’s unlocked garage, then entered her unlocked vehicle parked inside, and stole numerous items.

A burglary occurred near the 17900 block of Danielson St., Canyon Country. Suspect(s) unknown pried off the screen to the victim’s living room window. No entry was made into the location.

A burglary occurred near the 27300 block of Evi Ln., Canyon Country. Suspect(s) unknown forced entry into the victim’s apartment and stole numerous items.

Be aware. Don’t get too occupied with your smartphones or cell phones. Every day I see people walking down streets or sidewalks, or driving while playing on their phones. I know that checking your phone can be addictive, but when you’re focused on your phone, that means you’re not focused on your purse, your surroundings, your children, or your general safety and well-being.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

    Why is scv going south where are the old days where kids can play outside with there neighbors.

  2. We moved here in 66. Kids played outside every day til dark, weather permitting. But, they didn’t have phones,TV in their rooms,game machines. They did have basketballs,bikes,skates, badminton and Croquet.Hard to do this stuff inside.

  3. This has to be fake somekind of insurance scam, there’s no way someone’s that stupid!!

    Santa Clarita has changed since every available square foot of land has been developed and housing crammed into every inch of the valley.
    I lived there 1990 to 2000. It was beautiful when we moved there, getting too crowded when I left. Now when I visit, it just makes my heart ache to see what developers have done to the valley.
    With more people, come more crime. No one knows the people on their blocks any longer, there has been a proliferation of gangs and crime. Costs of living there are out of sight. You get what you allow into your community.

      Technically, not yet (“housing crammed into every inch of the valley”). Build-out is projected to take another 20 years.
