Tuesday afternoon, deputies with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle, which led to the finding of a “stack of mail” and methamphetamine.

The vehicle was originally stopped for a vehicle code violation. Upon further investigation, deputies found the driver in possession of potentially stolen mail. 

“Around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, deputies patrolling near Seco Canyon Road conducted a traffic stop for a vehicle code violation,” said Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. “The man was also found to be in possession of methamphetamine and a ‘stack of mail.’”

The driver, a male adult in his 30’s from Palmdale, was found to have also never been issued a driver’s license. 

“Upon closer observation, deputies noted the pieces of mail had different names, different addresses-none of which were the suspect’s,” Miller said. 

The man was arrested on felony fraud charges and narcotics charges. 

The incident is under investigation by detectives.
