In separate stops in Castaic and Stevenson Ranch, deputies from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station arrested two men and two women on drug charges and for outstanding warrants on Friday.

Here’s more from the station’s social media:

“On Friday, October 4, around 4 a.m., deputies were patrolling through a gas station parking lot on Castaic Road when they observed a vehicle that had its engine running and all of the windows covered with black trash bags.

“Deputies also noticed the vehicle’s registration was expired.

“Deputies exited their patrol car to make contact with the occupants of the vehicle. One of the occupants, a 47-year-old Sylmar woman, told deputies she didn’t have money for the registration and that she was ‘a heroin addict.’

“Deputies discovered narcotics paraphernalia and heroin in the vehicle. The woman was arrested for the possession of the narcotics paraphernalia.

“The other occupant of the vehicle, a 48-year-old male transient, was found to have two warrants in the system totaling $100,000. The man was arrested on the warrants and for possession of heroin.

“He was transported and booked at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.”
