On Thursday, deputies conducted a traffic stop and detained the men pending a stolen vehicle investigation, on Magic Mountain Parkway and Town Center Drive in Valencia, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

Great job, deputies, but this version of “catch and release” won’t serve to keep our community free of these a-holes.
Deputies did great.
But should ‘t be grand theft auto, a felony. It makes absolutely no sense that criminals should be released “On Citation”
This liberal mindset in our goverenment is the destruction of our society.
