Three people suspected of vandalism were arrested at gunpoint around noon Tuesday on the northbound Interstate 5 onramp at Lake Hughes Road in Castaic, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials said.
According to Lt. Luis Molina of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, deputies detained and later arrested three individuals suspected of graffiti. Molina said it was a felony offense.
“There was no call for service,” he said over the telephone. “That was just an observational detention.”
According to Carlos Burgos-Lopez of the Newhall Area Office of the California Highway Patrol, the CHP learned sheriff’s deputies had two suspects at gunpoint and officers showed up to assist.
Molina said the suspects would be processed and cited.
