On Thursday at around 6:00pm, residents in the Sand Canyon area reported seeing a burgundy Ford van with Arizona license plate CF24614 dropping off several scamming solicitors.
According to residents, the solicitors tried to use a number of fabrications to try and solicit funds from the residents including saying they were from a charity, with the Red Cross, or selling magazines.
Reportedly, when they were told 'no', they became hostile, aggressive, and even attempted to push the door to a residence open.

They came from all corners of Santa Clarita, on mountain bikes, ten speeds, training wheels and three wheelers.
