During a crime suppression operation in Santa Clarita Tuesday, deputies arrested six individuals including one individual for allegedly having a “large” amount of narcotics.

On Tuesday afternoon deputies with the Juvenile Intervention Team, (J-Team) arrested six individuals during a crime suppression operation throughout the City of Santa Clarita, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“One arrest was that of a male adult for possessing a large amount of heroin and fentanyl for sales,” Arriaga said.

The smallest amount of fentanyl can cause a fatal overdose, and is often laced onto other drugs without the user’s knowledge, Arriaga added.

“Thank you J-Team deputies for helping keep our community safe,” Arriaga added.
