Deputies conducted checks on four probationers Wednesday in Valencia, and two were found to be in violation of their probation, officials said.

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Crime Prevention Unit teamed up with J-Team deputies and a county probation officer Wednesday morning for probation searches, said Shirley Miller, a spokesperson for the station.

These checks are conducted as part of ongoing efforts to make sure that probationers residing in the Santa Clarita Valley are keeping to their terms of probation, Miller said.

Crime Prevention deputies selected four locations in Valencia to conduct their search during this week’s operation.

At two of the locations checked, probationers were found to be in violation, according to officials.

“One probationer was found to have moved and had not updated his address with the probation department,” Miller said.  

The other probationer was found to allegedly have narcotics and a weapon at his place of residence, according to officials.

The probationer was not at home at the time, but deputies were able to track him down to a Saugus park, where he was taken into custody without incident, Miller said.

“We will continue doing these probation checks as time allows,” Miller said. “Probationers need to know that they will be held accountable for their actions. Otherwise, that freedom that they are enjoying can be quickly taken away.”
