A 14-year-old Newhall boy was arrested Thursday in connection with a series of thefts at Newhall businesses that were videotaped and posted on social media, authorities said.

Shirley Miller, spokeswoman for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, said the boy was arrested on suspicion of theft and vandalism. It was not immediately clear if he had been released or transported to a juvenile detention facility.

A private Instagram account belonging to a user named Whole_lotta_gang reportedly shows video of the teen allegedly stealing chicken from a Popeyes restaurant, a Slurpee from 7-Eleven, a pie from Domino’s Pizza and a bowling pin from Valencia Lanes.

“We were first made aware of these videos over the weekend,” Miller explained.

The arrested teen’s name was not released because he is a minor.

Authorities are in the process of trying to identify other individuals involved with the crimes, Miller added.

Those involved in recording the incidents could also face charges.

A sheriff’s deputy took a theft report at Popeyes on Saturday but they weren’t made aware of the other incidents until community members contacted the department, Miller said.

A liquor store in Newhall was also vandalized in the crime spree, authorities said.

The sheriff’s department COBRA — Career Offenders, Burglary, and Robbery Apprehension — team, which works with juvenile-related crime, is handling the incident and launched an investigation on Monday, Miller noted.

Authorities suspect several people are involved but would not give further details.

Those involved are minors, Miller explained, and after receiving several leads, the COBRA team is working with local school deputies.

“We can confirm that the parties they’re looking into are local, and they attend our high schools in Santa Clarita,” Miller said.

Miller said parents need to have a serious talk with their children about the consequences of their actions.

“Make them aware that it may seem like a prank and funny, but they could be looking at criminal charges,” she said. “Kids think all [social media] accounts are private … on the internet there’s always an invisible audience. We don’t want to see kids getting into this kind of trouble because it could have long-term effects.”

The Santa Clarita Valley Signal first reported the story.
