While they were looking for a vehicle that might be missing a car stereo, they approached one car and two men jumped out and ran. They were also apprehended and stolen property was found in their vehicle.

The three, whose names were not released, but were identified as male Hispanic adults, were booked at the Santa Clarita Valley Station. Nagler added that several pieces of the recovered property may be tied to other open burglary cases.
