It began shortly before 4 p.m. today during the search for a stolen Tesla roaming around the area of McBean Parkway and Newhall Ranch Road when a Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station sergeant located a different stolen vehicle in the same place.
The sergeant initiated a pre-stop coordination inside the Bridgeport community by radioing in the car’s location and requesting additional units to back him up.
The vehicle came to a stop on Spinnaker Court and the sergeant initiated a felony traffic stop with a gunpoint detention.
Additional units arrived to support him and safely detain the occupants.
After about 30 seconds, a young woman began screaming from a balcony at a home in front of the car.
Audible callouts were made to the driver to exit the vehicle by reaching out the window to open the car door.
The driver complied and was taken into custody,
However, before audible callouts could be made to the passenger, an older woman and the young woman exited the home and approached the car with a dog.
Their presence paused the gunpoint detention as they crossed into the line of fire.
After a series of yelling, the women approached the vehicle against orders from the deputies to return to the inside of the home.
Though they did not comply with those orders because they felt the teenage occupants inside the stolen car should not have been detained at gunpoint because they were under 18 years old, deputies resumed the extraction phase of the felony traffic stop and asked for the passenger to exit.
The passenger initially did not comply, but eventually exited. Video shows the passenger yelling expletives and telling deputies to unload their guns on him.
He was eventually taken into custody along with a second passenger.
Three people were taken into custody in connection with the stolen Chevrolet Camaro.
Across the street at the same time, a stolen Tesla was located. The occupant(s) foot-bailed from the car at the Supercharging station and ran toward the Valley Marketplace near the California Pizza Kitchen.
They were detained at gunpoint and taken into custody.
