In-Car High-Tech Helps Deputies Arrest Santa Clarita Burglars From Bail Bondsman In Santa Clarita


LASD High-tech Equipment Coupled with Swift Police Work by Santa Clarita Station Deputies Results in Two Suspects Taken Into Custody.

Two suspects were allegedly committing felonies while most residents of Santa Clarita were sleeping. A quick response by Santa Clarita Station deputies, guided by technology recently installed in LASD patrol cars, made sure that the suspects would ruin no one else’s holiday season.

Friday morning, December 23, the two suspects allegedly started their crime spree by smashing a car’s window and stealing items from inside it near McBean Parkway and Copperhill Drive in Saugus. Later the same morning, the suspects attempted to burglarize another car near Garzota Drive and Seco Canyon Road, Saugus.

At about 6:30AM, Friday, a witness saw the two suspects smash the car’s window and began shouting at them. The suspects left the area in a blue Silverado pickup truck but not before the witness obtained a partial license plate number of the suspect's truck.

Santa Clarita deputies swarmed the area looking for the suspects.

Meanwhile, Deputy Steve Shirley assigned as an instructor with the Sheriff's Communications and Fleet Management Bureau was on his way to court and listening to the sheriff's radio broadcast.

Deputy Shirley's car was equipped with the new Sheriff's Mobile Digital Computer System (MDCS), so he was able to remotely access his desktop computer at work. He linked to a multi-jurisdictional database, and using several possible license plates, determined the full license plate of the suspect's truck.

He accessed the Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) database and was able to see photos of the truck that were made when it had passed through areas ranging from East Los Angeles to Santa Clarita.

In looking at the photos on the screen of his in-car computer from ten miles away, he provided a detailed description over the radio of the suspect's vehicle to deputies who were searching, including the full license plate and that it had an extended cab with chrome rims, and even described the chrome-tipped, dual-exhaust pipes.

The suspects were quickly observed and detained by deputies near Via Princessa and Golden Triangle Road, Canyon Country, while they were allegedly stealing construction materials and equipment from a nearby construction yard.

Suspects Brian Martinez, 19 years of age, and Daniel Sandridi, 28 years of age, both from Sylmar, were transported to Santa Clarita Sheriff's Station, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. They are being held on charges of Burglary and Receiving Stolen Property.

Additional victims, identified through investigation of the stolen property, have been contacted by Santa Clarita Sheriff's deputies.

Deputies at the scene of the arrrest said they had never seen a truck so loaded down with stolen property.

"So far, the new MDC's are installed in radio cars in Industry, Palmdale and Lancaster Sheriff's Station, said Captain Scott Edson, Sheriff's Communications and Fleet Management Bureau. "We install and deploy more MDC's every day and are providing training for all deputies on how to use this system. This incident demonstrates how effective a deputy can be when the right technology is in the right hands at the right time."

Santa Clarita 19-Year Old Charged With 29 Sex Crimes Against 14 Teen Girls. Possible Additional Victims From Bail Bondsman In Santa Clarita


In early December, 2011, a female minor reported being sexually assaulted by 19-year old Suspect Michael Downs earlier in the year in the Santa Clarita Valley.

With this information, detectives with the Special Victims Bureau, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, began an investigation.

The investigation resulted in the identification of an additional 13 female teenage victims, between the ages of 12 and 16 years old. The 13 additional victims were also allegedly sexually assaulted by Suspect Downs.

Detectives learned that Suspect Downs met the victims at social events, public places and on Facebook. The assaults occurred throughout the year 2011 at various locations throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.

The suspect met many of the victims on the social networking site Facebook. His alleged approach was befriending his victims on Facebook. He did so by claiming he was 16-years old and gaining their confidence in part by giving the names of other teen girls and saying he was friends with them. He would ultimately convince them to meet with him and then allegedly had sex with them.

"For over a week we have found new victims every day as we investigate these crimes," said Lieutenant Carlos Marquez, Sheriff's Special Victims Bureau. "We are asking the public to have some difficult discussions with their kids and contact us if there are more victims."

Sheriff's Special Victims Bureau investigators presented the facts of this case to the Office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney, which filed 29 felony counts of sexual assault by the suspect against 14 different girls.

As a result of the investigation, sheriff's detectives arrested Suspect Downs on December 15, 2011. He was booked at Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station for the charges of felony committing Lewd Acts With A Child and Unlawful Sexual Intercourse, and is being held in lieu of bail of $1.8 million.

Santa Clarita Patrol Deputy Discovers Substantial Illegal Marijuana Grow in Residential Neighborhood From Bail Bondsman In Santa Clarita


A patrol deputy checking an apparent vacant house in the 20400 block of Delight Street, Canyon Country, discovered a substantial illegal indoor residential marijuana grow earlier this week. While outside the house the deputy smelled the strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the house. The deputy also heard a number of air conditioning units running, despite the fact it was cold outside. The deputy also noticed the windows all around the home appeared to be covered or blacked out.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's Headquarters Narcotics Bureau, assigned to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station area, joined Santa Clarita Deputies from the Juvenile Intervention Team (J-Team) and deputies from the Crime Prevention Unit to serve a search warrant at the location just after 12:00 p.m. yesterday. Once inside, deputies found the entire house had been converted into a sophisticated and substantial Hydroponics marijuana cultivation operation. Four rooms were equipped with irrigation systems, fans and ventilation systems, elaborate lighting systems running throughout the day and night, and altered electrical systems which presented a substantial fire hazard.

Despite the fact the house was only estimated to be about 1,300 square feet, the perpetrators had installed multiple air conditioning and heating systems including one 7 ton air conditioning unit designed for a 10,000 square foot structure. Based on previous cases of this type, deputies estimate that the power bill alone for this grow would have been thousands of dollars each month. Deputies also discovered an apparent cultivation schedule where several different individuals had logged down visiting the house, tending to and cultivating the plants, and indicating on the list how much pay they were due to receive.

Deputies spent hours at the location dismantling the systems and confiscating the illegal marijuana plants. Deputies estimate the original cost of the cultivation equipment they recovered to be in excess of $75,000. More than 200 plants, estimated at 200-300 pounds in total weight, were taken as evidence. Narcotics experts estimate the street value of the marijuana to be between $1,500 to $5,000 per pound. The Southern California Gas Company and Southern California Edison officials responded to the location to address substantial utility concerns.

Deputies Rescue Pyramid Lake Boaters Capsized in High Winds - Photo of Rescue Song Being Sung From Bail Bondsman In Valencia

Two men caught by surprise Wednesday when sudden high winds knocked them into the chilly waters of Pyramid Lake in northern Los Angeles County. They treaded water without life jackets for 90 minutes in chilly waters as they clung to their small boat caught against the dam spillway, as they feared for their lives until discovered by County Parks sheriff's deputies.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Parks Bureau deputies had received a call at 5:00 p.m. from the Assistant Manager at the Pyramid Lake Concessionaire. She explained her concerns to the deputies that two men in a 10-foot "Pond Prowler" boat had not returned and were still on the lake. The sudden winds by this time had suddenly risen to 65-70 miles an hour with five foot swells on the lake.

The deputies launched two LASD rescue boats and began to search for the men and their vessel in the dark.

A helicopter was requested to help in the search but due to the hazards of the 90 mph winds at flying altitude, it was not safe for them to assist in the search.

The deputies soon found the men located on the spillway near the dam and saw waves crashing on them near a 200 foot drop.

The deputies could not reach them by boat due to the safety cable and buoys in the water that prevent large vessels from getting too close to the dam. The deputies later learned that the men's light boat had been pushed and blown uncontrollably into this area and capsized. The men then clung on hoping for help to come. By now it was dark and they feared they would tire out before they were found.

The boat deputies gave instructions to the two men over a public address system while other deputies made their way near the men on foot.

The men had been caught in an area where they could not see any place would they could escape the water on their own. Deputies kept providing instructions and showed the men where to paddle to with their overturned boat, and guided them to a safe exit from the water onto dry land.

The men made it to land and were met by deputies.

A 60-year old man and and his 29-year old son, both residents of Agoura Hills, were treated for mild hypothermia at the scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department Paramedics.

The 60-year old gentleman, a former opera singer from the Ukraine was so appreciative of the efforts made to rescue him and his son, that he sang "God Bless America" to all of the rescue personnel (photo).

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Parks Bureau, is committed to providing a safe and drug free environment at all Los Angeles County Parks.
