Multiple stolen credit cards were recovered during a traffic stop in Canyon Country last week, with one suspect being taken into custody.

Around 1:30 a.m. Friday, deputies conducted a traffic stop near Sand Canyon and Soledad Canyon Roads in Canyon Country for a vehicle code violation, said Shirley Miller, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“Upon making contact with the driver… deputies learned that he was on active parole and probation on weapon-related charges and robbery,” Miller said.  

During the deputies’ field investigation, they found multiple credit cards and documents belonging to at least 10 individuals, according to Miller. 

Jose Padilla, 35, from Palmdale, was arrested on felony charges of identity theft, according to officials.

Padilla was booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail and remains in custody on no bail, according to Miller. He is due in court Tuesday.
