A video showing what could be a Latino youth in Newhall using drugs has been posted on YouTube.
The video, posted on Saturday, is titled “LIL VANDAL HITTIN THE POOKIE.”
It shows a young man lighting a pipe and inhaling blue smoke.
The description for the video says it was taken in “Old Town Newhall.”

One of the search tags in the video is “methamphetamine.”
Coincidentally, the SCV Sheriff’s station reported earlier this week that an anonymous online tip had resulted in a drug bust of an individual found with “individually packaged baggies of marijuana and methamphetamine” in Newhall. The Sheriff’s blog says the man was charged with “Possession of Marijuana for Sales and Possession of Methamphetamine for Sales.”
Captain Anthony Laberge said of that incident: “We cannot do it alone! We need the eyes, ears, and involvement of our residents to keep the Santa Clarita Valley safe. Those individuals who are considering committing crimes should be aware that our community is very active and involved in crime prevention efforts and there is a very good chance these criminals will be identified and arrested. Many of these anonymous tips are leading us right to these perpetrators.”
The video is posted here, but I warn you, it’s not appropriate for work or if your children are around.
