On Monday, Oct. 28 at 4 p.m., a 29-year-old female was robbed by force behind the Chevron Station at 20500 Newhall Ave. The victim reported there were bystanders who saw the crime occur, but nobody called to report the crime. If you were a witness to this crime, please call the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station Detective Bureau at 661-255-1211 and report what you saw. (ref 14816)

If you witness a crime occurring, please call 9-1-1. If you have information about a crime that has already occurred, please call the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station to report it, 24 hours a day. If you would rather remain anonymous, you can call the Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477) or go to lacrimestoppers.org.

In the morning hours of Tuesday, Oct. 29, a 34-year-old resident of the Polynesian Mobile Home Park at 23450 Newhall Avenue severely beat his 60-year-old aunt during an argument. After she came to the station to report it, we responded to the residence and arrested the suspect.

All of us need to practice good crime prevention when we park our personal or work vehicles. Every time you park, take a second to ensure your vehicle is locked and ensure there is nothing in plain view that is valuable or could possibly contain something valuable. I have taken many vehicle burglary reports where the only items stolen were empty laptop bags, boxes containing nothing of value or backpacks containing school books. A couple seconds can prevent the cost of replacing a window and the hassle of having to deal with it.

A note of historical significance for the Sheriff’s Department in Santa Clarita: Nov. 8 marks the 87th anniversary of the opening of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s substation No. 6, known as the Newhall Sheriff’s Station.
