[KHTS] – A suspect accused of stealing nearly $2,000 in ammunition from a local gun club is in the custody ofSanta Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies, officials said Tuesday.
Mario Salazar, 20, of Canyon Country, was arrested at 2:40 p.m. Monday, after deputies received numerous tips on his whereabouts, officials said. He was booked on a burglary charge in connection with a theft at the Oak Tree Gun Club.
“With help from the media and the community we serve, detectives received tips, they investigated those tips and it ultimately led to the arrest of (Salazar),” said Deputy Josh Dubin of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. This is another perfect example of how our community is safer when we can work with the public to solve crimes.”
Sheriff’s Station officials released footage Wednesday of a suspect they believe is Salazar kicking in the door of the Oak Tree Gun Club in Newhall back in April.
Salazar allegedly kicked in a door around 6:50 p.m. April 26 at the Oak Tree Gun Club on the 23100 block of Coltrane Avenue in Newhall, in the unincorporated part of Los Angeles County.
The stolen items included: 2,000 .556-caliber bullets; 250 30-caliber American Eagle bullets; 500 .45 caliber bullets; 500 9-millimeter bullets; a $79 rifle case; and a $1 bottle of water.
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station detectives immediately began following leads and released surveillance video and still photos taken from the location in hopes of identifying the suspect involved in this incident.
Detectives are presenting a case to the District Attorney’s Office today and expecting a Wednesday court date for Salazar, officials said.

Hahah media tryna make it seem like they worked so hard Bahahah . He turned himself In we’ll his family let the police know he was gonna turn himself in and when he was gonna be back in town cause he could of just stayed Mia but he chose to come back and face his consequences . Haha scv cops really working ?ha ya right
Hahaha
Loser..
Having someone steal from you, it sucks… But have you ever wondered why that person stole. Maybe he’s hungry maybe he’s sad?
Which totally explains why he stole ammunition and not food & balloons. Obviously.
Trying to justify stealing ammo with hunger? Wow
Do bullets make people full and happy??
You went full retard dude. Go to the food bank if your hungry. If your sad, suck it up like a normal adult.
Sean you’ve official made me lol, what a retarded thing to say.
Nice Condor rifle case!!
I see Mario has lost some weight since high school….
Kicked in the door? 0_o. Must have been a flimsy door.
Now he can shower with his “wife” every day.
Money is used to purchase goods and services. Ammunition is a good and can be exchanged for money. When you living on food stamps and homeboys are wasting money, then my boy is going to do whatever it takes to eat. Maybe if all the rich people in the scv gave back to all the poor and minorities, everybody could eat and chill in peace without a conflict of interest
Have the poor look to God and local churches and their needs will be provided. Also look into SCV food bank. Not stealing of any type. You say “your boy.” Can you please elaborate? Sean Jamadar.
Sean, I’m not sure what reality you live in to justify crime. In many third world countries, your fingers or hands are chopped off for stealing. In our “horrible” SCV and our country, they are just arrested and then given free meals and health care. So it’s good for him to have committed the crime.
Btw I hope you do not drive a vehicle, hopefully a bicycle, and live in a shack because you donate all your money to the poor. In fact how are you on Facebook? You shouldn’t have a computer or a cell phone. You could have sold those and gave that money to the poor.
You are truly a mental midget.
Well said Tank.
Dear Greg, all I ask is for you to consider the idea that this young man didn’t have the same opportunities as you. When I say my boy, I’m talking about a fellow human. Before any of you judge this individual for committing an act of evil, make sure YOUR hands are clean.
good news.
Dear Tito, I live in a shack and I don’t have a high paying job. How I manage to pay for those expenses, only god can answer that… But you seem like a very judgmental person… Remember we are all connected. Are thoughts, words, and deeds have a profound influence on everyone around us. You should open up a dictionary and look up the word compassion. Because the next time you make a mistake you will understand not to expect compassion from anybody else
Jon Maxey sean
He’s like looking around but there’s a camera right there lol what a tard
Sean I come from beyond humble beginnings and very bad circumstances. I know struggle. I also know many people do not make it out of the world I came from. Not because they didn’t have a chance, but because they didn’t have the work ethic, dedication or vision to see the end game. On top of that, one of the biggest obstacles people “in the ghetto” have is the ability to accept responsibility for your actions. There are consequences and repercussions in this life. Accepting that and not blaming other people for your failures ( aka big corporations, or rich people for having more than me) is a major issue. Work hard, dedicate yourself, and you can find a way out of anything.
Sean God will always guide my life, and has always given me the strength to succeed. I may be judgmental, just as you are and everyone else is, but I’m not afraid of the truth. You are judging this man as an innocent hungry man, that is a judgement. He may be a ruthless criminal that may molest children or a killer, you, not I have any idea. There are evil people in this world. Don’t pretend they don’t exist.
Glad you have internet in your shack to be on FB
And you do not know me and are judging me based on a few comments, who is being judgmental?
Omg.really.stealing ammo to eat.really now..single mom works two jobs .I’m.not stealing..just saying.
Where’s the ammo now??? Tito Soto you nailed it!! I couldn’t have said it better.
Check mate, I’m out. Only god can judge him…
Idiot!
Wow Sean Jamadar, insults and runs away. Sounds like a pigeon to me. I can see that not being judgmental and being compassionate is very much a part of your being. Well compassion for the criminal, not the business owner that lost thousands and will have to pay for the repairs, no compassion for them of coarse.
Anyone see the released tapes? I want to watch
Sean,,
Mario had a job last year working at a restaurant, but he chose to quit that job. People create their own negative circumstances and have to live with the consequences. He knew better than to resort to criminal activities but he made his “free will” choice.
Now let’s use said stollen ammo on him. :)
Glad he was caught. There are other ways to find food.
Pendejo, surprise from Canyon Country smh
Won’t need that ammo anymore.
I hope Sean volunteers to go fix the broken door at Oak Tree. And visit his boy Mario in jail.
Words mean nothing. Only actions count.
Yes!
It’s sad to read comments where people think because you are poor ,it’s ok to steal from others. Honesty, loyalty , goes a long way in life.bad things happen to bad people. Sooner or late your judgement day will come, and that’s no joke.
