Detectives obtained three surveillance photos of a male using the stolen gift card to make a purchase and are now asking the public’s assistance in identifying this male.

  1. Do you really give a crap about the stolen items? My gas card was stolen and used locally. I was assigned a “Detective” that was on camera with his car, getting gad with my card with full view of his license Plate, and nothing was ever done!

  2. Please…There are much bigger crimes in Santa Clarita that our Sheriffs should be handling. I don’t feel safe in Canyon Country any more.

  3. The coffee is also wanted for questioning

  4. Rikki, are you saying a detective was filmed using your gas card?

    At least that’s what it sounds like…
