A Macy’s grand theft suspect and three others wanted for warrants were all taken into custody Wednesday night in Valencia. 

Around 7 p.m. Wednesday, Crime Prevention unit (CPU) deputies patrolling Valencia located a vehicle wanted in connection to a grand theft that occurred at Macy’s on the 24600 block of McBean Parkway earlier in the evening, said Deputy Kabrina Borbon, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. 

“It had been reported over $1,500 worth of merchandise had been stolen,” Borbon said.  

During the traffic stop, deputies learned the driver and two passengers had outstanding warrants for their arrests and were not connected with the theft of Macy’s, Borbon said.  

The fourth passenger in the vehicle, Martin Huaman Chavez, 30, from Van Nuys, was arrested for the Macy’s grand theft, Borbon said.  

Huaman Chavez and the three suspects wanted for their warrants were booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. 

Huaman Chavez remains in custody as of Thursday morning, according to Borbon.
