Update 8:45 p.m.:
Sheriff’s bomb squad deputies have recovered a FAKE “suicide jacket” from the vehicle. They are sweeping the entire parking lot of the Valencia Crossroads shopping center to make sure there’s nothing dangerous there and will reopen it once it’s clear.
Original Sheriff statement:
At 5:30 p.m. Monday, SCV Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 23700 block of Del Monte Drive, Valencia regarding a vehicle that was just stolen by an unknown suspect. Deputies immediately began to search the area for the late model Toyota Camry that was reported stolen.
Deputies located the vehicle, now abandoned, parked in the parking lot area of Whole Foods Market and Kohl’s (24100 block of Valencia Blvd). Inside the stolen vehicle deputies saw a suspicious package that contained wires and other suspicious items.
Sheriff’s Arson/Explosives Detail deputies have been called to the scene and are investigating as a precaution. Large portions of the parking lot area, including some local businesses have been evacuated as a precaution only as the investigation proceeds.
As of 7:45 p.m. the investigation is on-going. No further details are available at this time. No injuries have been reported.

We were eating at Islands and were ordered to leave immediately by the sheriff’s department. It was kind of insane.
I was wondering what what going on… Three sheriff cars were outside if Cobble Stone Cottage earlier… I thought perhaps someone got a little sassy in there and called the Sheriff… And then to see them at Kohl’s… Wow, what is awesome town turning into???
Peg English crazy!

Actually scv sheriff are the best. The rant helped me out in past.
Someone was pissed that whole foods charges you 97 dollars for 3 items in your cart.

I’m glad the entire force of road pirates responded so quickly. Now if we can only get the worthless police to do something productive.
Hoping SCVPD looks at Martins profile, before he goes back under his rock, and Justin, you’re an idiot
Didn’t hear a thing; our patios are being resurfaced at this time so too much noise! And I can’t leave the house for 3 hours; saved my cookie!
Does not surprise me any more! Just get them out of here.
