A 17-year-old was identified as the suspect in a string of crimes in Simi Valley, police say.

Simi Valley Police Department officers responded to a vandalism radio call on Fallon Circle around 10:25 p.m. Saturday.

“A witness reported a male suspect smashing the window of a parked vehicle,” SVPD said in a statement issued Sunday morning. “A description of the subject was provided to responding officers, but a search of the area did not result in locating the suspect.”

He was, however, located a short time later after officers were dispatched to a crash in the 1900 block of Morley Street – just over two miles away, according to SVPD, and a juvenile who matched the description of the suspect in the vandalism call was detained at Abraham and Malcolm streets.
