“The car was found with fake IDs in it, and we able to find out what room the individuals were staying in and detain them,” he said.
Deputies were tipped off to the location of the car and the suspects due to a GPS unit that was located in the stolen rental car.
Two suspects were arrested outside of the hotel on the 25300 block of The Old Road. Three more were found in rooms at the hotel, and left the room after being contacted by Sheriff’s Station deputies.

They are all expected to appear at Los Angeles Superior Court in San Fernando on Wednesday.
