Two alleged thieves from Rosamond were arrested for grand theft early Wednesday morning by Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies.

Around 4 a.m. Wednesday, deputies responded to a possible theft on the 33900 block of San Francisquito Canyon Road in Saugus, said Deputy Mariela Picard, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“Deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle linked to prior theft-related calls at the location,” Picard said.

Deputies contacted a man and woman who were in the vehicle and determined them to be related to the reported theft call.

“During a search of the vehicle, deputies located expended brass casings in backpacks, along with tools believed to be used in the collection process,” Picard said.

Nicholas Acosta, 56, and Johanna Garcia, 43, both from Rosamond, were arrested for felony grand theft and conspiracy to commit a crime, according to Picard.

The suspects were booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail and were released on Thursday morning, according to officials.
