A man was arrested in Santa Clarita last week by deputies after he allegedly stole a motorcycle and was then found in possession of burglary tools.

On Wednesday, Sept. 28, deputies conducted a traffic stop on a man after they noticed a motorcycle with an obstructed license plate near Sand Canyon Road and Sierra Highway in Canyon Country, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

The deputies identified the man as having an outstanding warrant from a previous incident of operating a vehicle without owner’s consent, according to Arriaga.

Deputies discovered that the license plate on the motorcycle was from a different vehicle and learned through a records check that the motorcycle had been reported stolen.

They also discovered picking tools commonly used for theft when searching the man, according to Arriaga.

Rodney Kreps, 32, from Canyon Country was arrested for taking a vehicle without owner’s consent and possession of burglary tools.

He remains in custody as of Wednesday.
