Commit Crime? Not in the Santa Clarita Valley — A suspected armed robbery suspect is behind bars today thanks to an alert patrol deputy, and a collaborative effort between detectives from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff Station's Robbery and Assault team, members of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff Station's Community Interaction Team (CIT), and members of the County of Los Angeles/Sheriff's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) team assigned to the Santa Clarita Valley.
On Wednesday, February 4, 2009, at 9:45 a.m., deputies responded to Ricky's Liquor located at 18520 Soledad Canyon Road, Canyon Country, to reports of an armed robbery.

The suspect fled the location after obtaining an undisclosed amount of United States Currency.
During the continuing investigation, detectives were able to identify a vehicle the suspect was believed to be driving. The description of the vehicle was briefed to all patrol deputies. An alert patrol deputy spotted the vehicle, just one day after the robbery, parked in the 18400 block of Jakes Way, Unincorporated Los Angeles County — Canyon Country. An immediate operation was launched utilizing the team members and resources outlined above.

After the arrest, detectives from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station wrote and served a search warrant in the 18400 block of Jakes Way in direct connection with this case.
