During a crime suppression operation led by the Crime Prevention Unit, deputies observed a vehicle displaying false registration tabs driving in Canyon Country.
During a traffic stop, the male driver was unable to provide proof of any registration, nor could he remember much information of who he “borrowed” the van from, leading deputies to believe the van was stolen.
As deputies opened the van door to conduct a search, they found a Vespa laying inside the cargo, later identified to be stolen.
The male adult, who has several previous convictions for taking a vehicle without owner’s consent, was booked for grand theft auto, taking a vehicle without owner’s consent, and displaying false registration tabs. He was booked into the SCV Sheriff’s Station and remains in custody at this time.
