Deputies made contact with the suspects — two men and two women — after matching them to suspect descriptions provided in other car thefts, and discovered the vehicle they were in at that time was also stolen.

“As a result of the (deputies) suspicion, we currently we have four suspects detained, pending the investigation,” Morhoff said.

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station tweeted about the incident, urging any residents to avoid the area as deputies detained the suspected burglars.

Shirley Miller, a spokesperson for the station, said at noon Wednesday that two of the suspects remained in custody. She did not elaborate on the status of the two other suspects.
