A man was arrested for attempted robbery after he allegedly tried to steal money from a person at a Wells Fargo ATM in Newhall Monday.

Around 11:30 a.m. Monday, deputies responded to the Wells Fargo in the 24100 block of Lyons Avenue in Newhall regarding an attempted robbery, said Deputy Mariela Picard, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“The suspect… got into a verbal altercation with the victim as they were getting cash out of the ATM,” Picard said.

The suspect attempted to rob the person at the ATM, Sgt. Treadway with the SCV Sheriff’s Station confirmed.
