Guillermo Lomeli Ceniceros, 39, is accused of trying to abduct a 13-year-old girl around 8:30 a.m. Nov. 12, near the intersection of Sierra Highway and Jakes Way, in Canyon Country, officials said.

Witnesses reported to detectives an older Hispanic man attempted to grab and kidnap a teenage girl. One witness stopped their vehicle yelled at the suspect, who was fighting with the alleged victim, according to Sheriff’s Department officials.

“This arrest was made with the help of a proactive citizen who took the time to help out a fellow resident in need,” said Detective Josh Dubin of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, last year, shortly after the arrest.

The witness told the girl to run away, and then the witness kept an eye on the suspect and directed the responding deputies to his location, according to Sheriff’s Station officials.

Ceniceros was taken into custody a second time shortly after the alleged kidnapping attempt.

The victim came forward the following day, after officials reached out to the community.

Cisneros was charged with five counts, including attempted kidnapping for child molesting and attempted aggravated sexual assault.

He’s due back in court for a preliminary hearing June 30.

He’s being held in lieu of more than $3 million bail.

Sheriff’s Station official put out Nixle reports as a way to notify residents about urgent alerts and upcoming events.

  1. This pervert criminal should NEVER have been released when he was arrested for burglary. I hate our justice system. Now that this THUG tried to kidnap this 13 y/o girl and God only knows what he would have done to her,murder? He should get LIFE. Clean up our streets, build more prisons. I am sick of all the criminals getting a slap on the wrists. He does not deserve to breath the same air as the public.
