On Monday, Nov. 15, Ernesto Juarez, 18, and Jaqueline Portillo, 18, from Newhall, were arrested for allegedly making fraudulent purchases at a local department store with a credit card that did not belong to them.
Deputies were able to contact the owner of the stolen credit card, who told them he had last used his card at the Jimmy Dean’s restaurant on Lyons Avenue in Newhall.
While conducting their investigation, deputies later learned that Portillo was an employee of the restaurant and was working the drive-thru the day the victim’s card went missing.
Detectives are seeking any additional victims who may have had their cards stolen after using the Jimmy Dean’s restaurant. If you were a victim, or if you have any other additional information pertaining to this case, please contact SCV Sheriff’s Detective Mark Baretto at 661-255-1121.

Both my husband and I had our debit Visa cards copied recently, but we do not go to Jimmy Deans. There is another place here that has the same thing happening. Hope they catch these people and shut down what now appears to be a ring… :-(
Desperate….
By his happened to me once after using my card at pollo loco on Pico canyon. But I still had the card. I suspected they took a pic with their cell phone. Only one small charge showed up when I noticed it and canceled the card. Luckily it didn’t get worse than that. They typically will put animal charge or two through bc most people don’t notice those charges. Be diligent people. Merry Christmas!
