In early May 2008, Narcotics Investigators received information of heroin sales occurring in the City of Moorpark. Through investigation, detectives identified Timothy Paredes, 23 years of age, as the heroin dealer. On 6-13-08, detectives followed Paredes to the area of Laurel Canyon Blvd and Rinaldi St in the City of Sylmar. Detectives observed Paredes and another subject, later identified as Henry Solorzana, conducting what they believed to be a narcotics transaction. Paredes, Solorzana, and a 17-year old juvenile with Paredes were detained. Detectives found 48 individual packets of suspected heroin and several hundred dollars in cash. Detectives believe Solorzana is Paredes' source of supply. Paredes was arrested for possession of heroin for sale, and destruction of evidence. Solorzana was arrested for sales of heroin and possession of heroin for sale. The juvenile was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance. Paredes and Solorzana were booked into the Sheriff's Pre Trial Detention Facility.
