Suspects Found in Santa Clarita Neighborhood Backyard After Stolen Vehicle Pursuit

SANTA CLARITA, Calif., May 30 (KNN) — Three men were taken into custody following a pursuit through a Santa Clarita neighborhood late Wednesday night.

The incident began on State Route 14 when a Palmdale Sheriff’s Station unit spotted a vehicle reported stolen.

The unit requested resources from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and the California Highway Patrol’s Newhall office to assist with a potential felony gunpoint detention.

As units were setting up near State Route 14 and Newhall Avenue, the vehicle exited Golden Valley Road, four miles to the north. The car turned into a neighborhood and the occupants took foot bail.

One occupant didn’t get very far – they were detained at gunpoint almost immediately.

Two men were found in the backyard of a nearby home, unbeknownst to the homeowner.
