A Santa Clarita man was arrested on forgery charges after he allegedly tried to purchase a motorcycle with counterfeit documents Wednesday. 

Around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday,  deputies responded to the 21600 block of Golden Triangle Road in Canyon Country regarding a forgery call, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.  

“The suspect attempted to purchase a motorcycle using false information for the loan application,” Arriaga said. “The suspect was detained on scene.”  

Deputies located a counterfeit driver’s license and counterfeit social security card during a search of his wallet, according to Arriaga.
