Man Arrested For Allegedly Stealing From Elderly Person In Canyon Country

A man was arrested Wednesday evening for allegedly burglarizing the home of an elderly Canyon Country resident in November.

Andrew Alexander Cruz, 33, of Canyon Country was arrested on charges of residential burglary Wednesday, according to officials with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

On Nov. 1, a resident living on the 18700 block of Flying Tiger Drive in Canyon Country reportedly had her apartment burglarized during the late hours of the night, according to Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“Deputies and detectives were able to use surveillance video to identify the suspect,” Miller wrote in an official post Thursday.

Then, on Wednesday night, the suspect was apprehended by detectives and Crime Impact Team deputies. Special Assignment Team deputies assisted with recovering the victim’s property, according to Miller.

Cruz was transported to and booked at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail, where bail was set at $50,000, according to arrest records.

  1. Thanks LE !! Mr/ It/their/them was caught before it could commit more filthy crimes!! Thanks to the Liberals who created (Gascon) Prop. 47 & 57 and AB 109(Liberals) the creatures will be back on the streets to do their job, robbing/stealing from hard working taxpayers!!

  2. Nono so true! It’s absolutely disgusting what these worthless pos are doing to this valley. There was a time when you could leave your doors unlocked on your home and car and know it would still be there in the morning not anymore

  3. Huh?? You don’t think those creeps would be here anyway? Face the facts and stop blaming everything on the liberals.

  4. Liberals allow/excuse bad behavior! They degrade the laws/rules to make bad behavior acceptable! Look at Liberal designed Prop. 47(Gascon) & 57 and AB 109 !! Republicans/Christians didn’t/don’t allow that type of degeneration of morals(not all, but the majority)!

    • Respectfully, Ricardo, we do not excuse bad behavior nor do we believe anyone is above the law.
      That is why the president of the United States was impeached. You won’t find that quality in the Republican party though. They had three years to get this cretin under control but chose to look the other way as long as he was doing their bidding of tearing this country apart. Start thinking for yourself instead of relying on those who feed your hatred.

      • Well said, Denny. And on top of their bolstering Trump, who has ruined our standing in the world, don’t forget health care. They moaned and groaned about ObamaCare, vowing to repeal and replace as soon as they had a majority. So what happened in 2016? They did nothing. They had nothing planned after several years of waiting. Fortunately, ObamaCare is still in place. Not the best, but what is left after the republicans stripped it down of some of its best qualities.

        They complain about the Democrats not doing the people’s work, but whenever the House sends a bill to the Senate, Moscow Mitch refuses to bring it to the floor.

        Unfortunately, people like Ricardo either make up this stuff or believe the lies he hears, and they always will.

        Whenever I meet someone from another country, they ask how Trump got elected. I tell them that Hillary was right…they’re a “basket of deplorables.”

  5. Denny/Mimi: Your Pollyanna/Peter Pan views/lifestyles will and have not come true!! You excuse poor behavior and want SCV to be like Seattle to San Diego! When you both & non-traditional families get murdered/robbed/raped/ burgled, you may change your brainwashed minds !?!! Have a Merry Christmas!! You’ve not said how Prop. 47(by Gascon) & 57 and AB 109(Liberals) is helping us all!!? ANARCHIES——

  6. You people all have a screw loose this is about one theft and ,jojo or Ricardo you want to turn it into politics. Do us all a favor and keep your warped political views to yourself. And Denny/Mimi this is not Trumps fault so quit whining about him and blaming him for the worlds problems. All of you need to SHUTUP and start to take responsibility for your own life’s and quit blaming it on everyone else

  7. Dear Denny & KAB, Comprehension skills are needed for life’s realities. To hone with today’s Liberal, fake/lying/squeed news, is pointless, unless, their mission is to brainwash the sheep/masses!! Look how much $$$ gangster rap(PC called “hip hop”) is making & brainwashing the youth!! Nursery rhyme pseudo music entrancing dolts towards horrible lifestyles!! It’s supposed to be cool?? Merry Christmas, all!!
