Deputies are investigating a home burglary in Stevenson Ranch where approximately $20,000 in cash and jewelry was stolen from a safe on Monday evening, according to a spokesperson with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
The incident took place at approximately 7 p.m. in the 25200 block of Steinbeck Avenue and deputies were alerted by an informant that a sliding door and windows of the home were opened, said Deputy Robert Jensen of the SCV Sheriff’s Station.
Two masked male suspects were seen entering the home according to Ring camera footage obtained by deputies during their investigation, Jensen said, and the suspects broke into a small safe and stole an estimated amount of $20,000 in cash and jewelry.
The house was unoccupied at the time of the incident and no arrests have been made as of Tuesday, according to a social media post by the SCV Sheriff’s Station. The investigation is still ongoing, Jensen added.
In November, three homes just north of this location were burglarized, raising concerns from local residents in the area over potential links to organized crime theft groups.
However, officials from the SCV Sheriff’s Station stated in a social media post, “There is no evidence at this time to suggest this incident is related.”
The post also advised residents to secure their homes, lock all entry points, and immediately report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
Anyone with information about the incident can contact the SCV Sheriff’s Station at 661-260-4000.
