Wtf?
Omg!!!! What the hell! Freddy Garibay were you there?
Mila Lopez
I’m sure it was that older guy who the police STILL CANT FIND! How? I have no clue?
Yeah that’s him, he has robbed 10 bank so far , 4 of them are outside Santa Clarita
Scott Murphy way to Santa Clarita sheriff’s!!!?how is he getting away with this?!
This time his cruiser was painted or wrapped , it was a different color
Scott Murphy sounds like it takes a lot of work to rob banks. He must not have a spouse or kids??
Tammy Swaim Hubbard there’s really not much you can do when you’re handed a note , you don’t want to try to be a hero and risk someone else’s life… pretty soon though, once that guy leaves the bank, somebody somewhere is going to scream to the heavens and say that’s him and hopefully law enforcement is close by
Tammy Swaim Hubbard when the guy was trying to rob the bank yesterday, the bank teller denied him, so he left .. I just read that on Facebook
That’s Scary ?
doesn’t fbi have facial recognition software ?
This probably isn’t being investigated on a federal level. But who knows not me.
Ashley Allen I think since banks are FDIC insured the feds get involved , so crazy this guy got away twice
Alright great job Sheriffs. That’ll be the 3rd bank robbery you can’t do anything about or stop. Not even neighboring cities can. What does that say about our ticketeers now a days? I don’t even think law enforcement trys to stop them anymore. They just generate more money by handing out tickets. Thank God for Law Enforcement.
Since you have such a negative view on the sheriff’s, why don’t you apply and show them how it’s done?
That logic is so stupid. Listen I have friends who are in the Sheriffs dept outside of the SCV Area. All of them talked me out of it. Most of them would never work here due to the bureaucratic nonsense and it’s mostly lazy Sheriff staff. Not just the Sheriffs buckaroo. Most Law enforcement I know who patrol out of the area. Also, I’ve lived in this valley all my life. I’ve seen Sheriffs pull over a City council woman for being drunk and having another Sheriff drive her home, not jail. Yet pull me over simply because I’m brown and driving late in Santa Clarita multiple times. Telling me my brake light are out, when I work on my cars & know they aren’t. Sorry that my opinion of the local law enforcement is different than yours. Does it mean I’m disrespectful when they pull me over? Nope. Do I have a criminal record? Nope. Yet Sheriffs in my town pulled me over 10x more than my white friends. Maybe if they aren’t busy speed trapping & racially profiling they might have a better go at catching a notorious bank thief. We pay their salary so I’m entitled to an opinion as one who pays his taxes.
You’d better hope that you’re never in a situation where YOU need one of those ‘lazy Sheriffs’
As a real American that takes his time to educate himself on his local, county, state & federal laws. I don’t ever count on Law Enforcement to be there to save me. I count on my rights and knowledge. Law enforcement isn’t an easy job. Then again no one said it would be. So please save your breath. Have fun waiting.
I pay their salary so I’ll have a negative opinion about them if I want to. Thank you. And there has been more than one occasion where I have needed them and they haven’t been there. Lmao. Great job SCV sheriffs!
Go 399!
wth ?
LMAO its almost as if he’s asking to get caught or he wants to show us how little support we have as far as law enforcement. With the town increasing in size we cant expect our sheriffs to be everywhere. Can you only imagine how much less support we’ll have after those 21,000 homes go in
Jen Sherman
Guess its cheaper than paying a security guards salary and benefits….???
He went shopping at Ralph’s after. Lol
Jacky. Christopher
?
Jacky Alwyn scary
Priscilla Marie
Tbh the sheriffs don’t do anything but give tickets to speeders. They spent more time on trying to ticket the pedestrian crossing than real crime.
That’s why the new name for our city is Palmencia
Gross
Wtf is going on ???
They’d rather bust people with hash labs.
They’d rather pull over Latinos, seeing how that’s what they did after the Chase Bank robbery and after that kid made the video of him going into 7-11 and pouring a Big Gulp on his head.
Ok his next hit was Chase bank , hope they are prepared .
A.z. Jarrous
Build a wall starting at calgrove
Hahahahahahha
Cristina Romero
Jesse Sanchez
OMG..really. …
I guess when it’s an easy hit ?
Hmmm. You know what glad noone got hurt. But not ghe sherriffs fault. Who lets these people back out of jail.
Our screwed up system
I thought it was embarrassing when he robbed the third bank. This valley is an embarrassment.
I couldn’t agree more! :)
Must be hood money
Again! At this point, why?
Gasp! Awesometown is just not that awesome anymore.
How is that possible?
I’m sad to say, but this is my bank! Guess it’s time to change banks! No one does their jobs correctly.
Someone needs to start blowing their brains out
Wow. 5 miles away and they’ve got armed guards at the grocery store or even down the street on lyons at Viyarta they have armed guards….
Jessica Marshall
Place has become a Target because it’s filled with marks…
His car has to be wrapped with stolen plates there’s no way he’s going to use his real car
Inside job homies
Where are all the racists when its a crime committed by someone of color? This guy is a thug, no good waste of a human being, pure trash.
I sure saw it yesterday! Pretty scary. Who’s gonna stop this guy!! He’s been identified so why can’t they nail him!?
Ruby Michelle Talavera
Oh wow
