Two Bakersfield men are being charged with felony grand theft after allegedly stealing over $1,000 of merchandise from Macy’s Monday, officials said.
On Monday around 3 p.m., deputies received reports of a grand theft call at the Macy’s location at the Valencia town Center, said Shirley Miller, spokesperson with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“The two suspects allegedly took merchandise totaling $1,500,” Miller said.
After units on scene put out a crime broadcast, deputies located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop on Magic Mountain Parkway west of the Valencia mall, according to officials.
Jaron Ellis, 24, and Garrett Hughes, 20, both from Bakersfield, were arrested on felony grand theft charges and misdemeanor narcotics charges for possession of a controlled substance, Miller said.
It is considered grand theft when more than $950 of value is taken from a person or business, according to the Penal Code 487.
The two were arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail with bail set at $21,000 for both suspects, according to arrest records.

Bakersfield males, again! If they were smart enough to pull the glued cell phone from their ugly, greasy faces and use the calculator (if they know what that is), they could have put a couple of items back and only have a $20 dollar citation and be out in hours to do it again!! Then the Liberal stores would give them coupons printed in divisive Spanish and English!
