Santa Clarita Valley Hate Crimes

At its meeting held January 30, 2007, the Board took the following action:

Supervisor Antonovich made the following statement:

      “On November 8, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved a reward offer of $20,000 ($10,000 for each incident) for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for these heinous hate crimes committed in the Santa Clarita Valley from November 3rd through November 4th, one against a Jewish family and another against Master’s College, a Christian institution. The reward offered will expire on February 6, 2007.

      “The hate crime against the Jewish family was committed sometime from November 3rd through November 4th. The suspects spray-painted obscenities on the victim’s vehicle, which was parked on the 25000 block of Sarape Court in Valencia, including the word “Jews” scrawled in white.

      “The hate crime against the Master’s College, was committed during the early morning hours of Saturday, November 4th, wherein a campus putting green was spray-painted depicting two swastikas.

      “Both of these incidents are being investigated as hate crimes by the Hate Crimes Task Force which is seeking information from the public to aid in their investigation.”

Therefore, on motion of Supervisor Antonovich, seconded by Supervisor Burke, unanimously carried, the Board approved the extension of the $10,000 reward offered for each hate crime, for a total of $20,000, for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for hate crimes committed against a Jewish family in the Valencia area, and the Master’s College, a Christian institution in the Santa Clarita Valley area, from November 3 through November 4, 2006.
