A glass door at the Smokehouse BBQ and Brewery in Old Town Newall was broken after the restaurant was reportedly burglarized sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

“Someone entered the locked location and stole miscellaneous items,” said Lt. Rob Hahnlein of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. “The business owner is going to review the video to see what happened.”

  1. Terrible!!!! ? hope they catch the thieves!!!

  2. Mike Wright says:

    Bummer.. One of my faves–ho cake & beer

  3. Losers hang out in this area when everything closes. They need to invest in a surveillance system for this entire street.

  5. Jim Sherman says:

    Probably local homeless people, they know there’s no money in there.

  6. The corner liquor store attracts a lot of the homeless as well as a negative element to that area.

  7. Besh St.John says:

    Newhall is trying so hard to be all new and hip, but they really need more security officers driving around to make it feel safe. This just proves my point. How much would it be to have some rent a cop patrolling the area at night? I think well worth it. I know I would definitely eat at newhall Refinery more often if it felt safer walking back to my car afterwards.

  8. Oh man that is just not right! Josh N Rica Cabigas

  9. Mary Cain says:

    Really doubt it’s homeless…theres a food pantry right up the street. My guess is kids…..

  10. I live here near the liquor store and the drunks in the park are obnoxious to say the least, fighting, yelling, holding up traffic strolling slowly across the streets, lots of drug dealers around here and bad older kids being a nuisance… I wish the city was more proactive in cleaning things up over here in Newhall. The camera idea is a good one!

  11. John Chan says:

    Drop a sheriff sub station on the block

  12. Dorene Tapp says:

    Welcome to the neighborhood.

  13. Peter Haddad says:

    Wow Gabe Perez Mike Lawry

  14. Crime is always such a shame. In this case, it just proves you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Before the city made the decision to “revitilize” this end of town, perhaps they should have asked for public opinion (if they did, I missed it). Instead, they went ahead with their ideas (once again) and it didn’t pan out. The city has poured $$$ into this part of the city for so long now and nothing has worked in my opinion. They caused closures of stores that we used to patronize (Newhall Hardware, Billy’s, etc.) and for what? Now they have a beautiful library where I would never leave my children alone to do their homework (transient issue). I’d rather have my tax dollars go to clean up other areas of town where there’s potential for a future. I wonder how many city officials frequent downtown Newhall whether it be during the day or night??

  15. How awful… These small business owners are trying to breathe new life and employment opportunities into this area and this is the thanks they get?! ? Crime doesn’t pay…hard work does!!

  16. Dean Botton says:

    #ThanksHillary#ThanksBernie#ThanksObama

  17. Jeff Springs says:

    Anyone with info, please call “We Tri-Tip”…

  18. Ann Hustis says:

    Another reason to stay. Away from ” downtown” Newhall !!!!
