Deputies arrested a bicyclist after they recovered methamphetamine and property he allegedly stole from a Canyon Country store Monday.  

On Monday, deputies responded to a reported theft at Tractor Supplies in the 16900 block of Sierra Highway in Canyon Country, said Shirley Miller, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“The suspect… allegedly entered the store, concealed approximately $500 worth of merchandise, and exited the store without paying,” Miller said.

The man fled the scene on a bicycle. A description of the suspect was sent out to responding units.

“Deputies located the individual riding along Sierra Highway shortly thereafter,” Miller said.

Angel Santiago, 34, from Canyon Country, was arrested on a felony theft charge, as further investigation revealed he had prior theft convictions.

Santiago was also found to be in possession of methamphetamine.

Due to prior narcotics-related convictions, he was additionally charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, Miller said. 

The suspect was transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail and remains in custody without bail, Miller added.
