A convicted felon was arrested in Canyon Country after reportedly being found with a loaded firearm, a stolen vehicle, and multiple narcotics believed to be meant for sale.

On Wednesday, deputies with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s Special Assignment Team (SAT) were conducting additional patrol checks near a Canyon Country home on the 26800 block of Claudette Street after “a concerned citizen” anonymously reported that he had “observed what he believed to be suspicious activity taking place.”

“During one of the patrol checks, deputies observed a male adult in possession of a stolen vehicle parked in front of the residence,” wrote Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Station, in an official post Friday. 

After proceeding to detain the man, deputies learned that he was on active parole as part of the “Post Release Community Supervision” (PRCS) program.
