DETAILS:
On 10/02/18 at approximately 5:00 p.m., Oxnard Police Department officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that had been reported stolen out of the city of Port Hueneme.
The driver of the stolen vehicle was identified as Anitta Talley, 48 years old and the passenger was identified as her husband, Stephen Talley, 47 years old. They were arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, receiving stolen property and narcotics violations.
Both Anitta Talley, and her husband Stephen Talley, are serious habitual offenders with lengthy criminal records. Stephen Talley, at the time of this arrest, was out on bail from a previous stolen vehicle arrest that occurred in August of 2018. Since June 2018, Stephen Talley has been arrested four times in Oxnard for being in possession of a stolen vehicle. In past arrests, he has been found to be in possession of items connected to identity theft and fraud.
Anitta Talley has a criminal record that includes several arrests for identity theft and burglary related charges. She has been contacted/arrested with her husband several times in the past few months.
Due to the Talley’s, untiring desire to continue to victimize residents of the city of Oxnard, Detectives from the Auto Theft Task Force requested that their bail be increased.
Detectives from the Auto Theft Task Force, as part of an ongoing campaign to curb auto theft, are offering steering wheel locks to Oxnard residents who are owners of 1990-2000, Honda passenger vehicles. A limited amount of steering wheel locks are available to non-Honda owners. For details on obtaining a free steering wheel lock, contact Detective Enrique Alvarez at (805) 385-7664.
