Two Stevenson Ranch robbery suspects were detained at gunpoint Thursday night after allegedly taking items from the Walmart off of The Old Road.

Just after 8:20 p.m. Thursday, deputies with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station received reports of a robbery at the Walmart on the 25400 block of The Old Road in Stevenson Ranch.

“There was a robbery call,” said Sgt. Bengson with the station. “There’s two suspects currently being detained.”

Initial reports indicate that the two suspects allegedly attempted to take a number of unknown items from the Walmart before getting into a physical altercation with the stores’s Loss Prevention Officers.

The two suspects then drove southbound on The Old Road. Deputies were able to find the vehicle, and proceeded to detain the two at gunpoint near the Taco Bell on Pico Canyon Road, according to officials on scene.

Traffic was blocked off temporarily as deputies worked to detain the suspects, with westbound traffic blocked off just east of the I-5 Freeway near Lyons Avenue.

Deputies were still on scene as of 8:40 p.m. Thursday.
