Deputies Investigating Canyon Country Robbery
Deputies are investigating a Canyon Country robbery Friday afternoon after an individual reportedly tried to steal a woman’s purse at a nearby grocery store.
Around 2:15 p.m. deputies received reports of a robbery at the Vons grocery store on the 26500 block of Soledad Canyon Road in Canyon Country, said Lt. Ethan Marquez with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“There was a reported robbery and deputies are on scene investigating,” Marquez said.
Initial reports indicate that a male suspect allegedly stole a woman’s purse, according to officials.
Deputies arrived on scene and were able to locate and detain the suspect, according to Marquez.
“I think very few true volunteers are looking for recognition for their efforts. Being able to volunteer is a great gift in itself,” Cheri said at the time. “I always feel that I’m receiving so much more than I’m giving. However, to be a Woman of the Year in Santa Clarita is an amazing honor.”
In 2012, Cheri was named the “Woman of the Year” by the Los Angeles County 5th Supervisorial District and Commision for Women, and in 2017 she was named the “Volunteer of the Year” by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal.
Then, in 2019, both Cheri and Don were named the recipients of the “Silver Spur” community service award by College of the Canyons for their involvement in higher education.
