A registered sex offender has been arrested on suspicion of following and filming young girls in the Santa Clarita area, officials said Thursday.

Detectives served a search warrant Wednesday at Yurman’s home, said Sheriff’s Deputy Josh Dubin. Authorities seized evidence allegedly showing that Yurman had trailed girls in several instances, including at a Wal-mart and a church in Valencia, according to the sheriff’s department.
Yurman posted bond for $150,000 and has been released from custody, Dubin said.
