Two people were arrested Friday night for grand theft of copper wire after their vehicle overturned and took out a streetlight in a Saugus crash, officials said.
Around 10:30 p.m. Friday night, emergency responders received a call for a rolled-over vehicle near the intersection of Copper Hill Drive and Deer Springs Drive in Saugus, according to Los Angeles County Fire Department officials.
“It involved two cars, they hit a streetlight (and) took it out,” said Dispatch Supervisor Bernard Peters at the time of the crash.
Firefighters had to remove the passengers from the vehicle due to it being overturned, according to Peters.

Tweekers, but they just catch and release
I love that they were arrested Thank you officers but I hate that they were released with a CITATION .
We need real penalties in order for people to stop committing crimes.
Wonder if they’re part of the crew/gang that also steals catalytic converters?!
