After a brief investigation, the 54-year-old woman was arrested for felony possession of methamphetamine and a misdemeanor for possession of a methamphetamine pipe.

Hours later two deputies saw a man next to a car with its engine running parked in a fire lane, near the intersection of Silver Saddle Road and Palomino, in Canyon Country.

After the deputies contacted the man and discovered he was wet, standing next to a leaking pipe next to his wet tools, they conducted a brief investigation.

After discovering the man was on probation and found he allegedly was in possession of methamphetamine, he was arrested.

The man is suspected of being involved in at least one other theft of this nature, when metals have been stolen from public places, so they can be sold for their value as scrap metal

The Santa Clarita Valley has had several of thefts of this nature over the last six months, according to officials.

The identities of both suspects were not released by Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies because the individuals are part of an ongoing investigation into the thefts, officials said.
