was looking through her front window. The suspect then walked around to the
side of the house and entered the backyard where the resident confronted the
suspect and threatened to call the police, at which time the suspect fled the
scene on foot.

An infield identification was conducted
and the resident positively identified suspect Scott Estrada, age 27. Estrada,
who is on parole for burglary, was arrested for prowling, possession of
narcotic paraphernalia, and violation of his parole. He is a prolific offender.

NEWS RELEASE

INCIDENT:	Oxnard’s crime statistics show a 14.9% decrease in 2019
DATE/TIME:	February 27, 2020, 1:00 pm
PREPARED BY:	Sharon Giles, Investigative Services Bureau Commander
CONTACT PERSON AND CONTACT INFO:	Sharon Giles, Investigative Services Bureau Commander Sharon.Giles@Oxnardpd.org; (805) 385-7620

DETAILS:

The City of Oxnard is pleased to report a decrease in reported crime for the fourth consecutive year. Specifically, the number of crimes reported in the City of Oxnard in 2019 was 14.9% lower than 2018.

The Department of Justice’s Uniformed Crime Reporting (“UCR”) Program collects crime statistics from 17,000 law enforcement agencies throughout the country. The Oxnard Police Department has been tracking its UCR statistics for nearly 50 years. The statistics are classified into eight “Part One” crimes, which are broken into two categories – violent crime and property crime. Here are the statistics from 2019, with a comparison to 2018:

Part I Crime (YTD)	2018	2019	Percent Change	Num. Diff.
Violent Crimes
Homicide	14	14	0.0%	0
Rape	66	63	-4.5%	-3
Robbery	327	275	-15.9%	-52
Aggravated Assault	394	374	-5.1%	-20
Total	801	726	-9.4%	-75
Property Crimes
Burglary	704	670	-4.8%	-34
Motor Vehicle Theft	783	585	-25.3%	-198
Larceny (Theft)	3,568	2,987	-16.3%	-581
Arson	41	48	17.1%	7
Total	5,096	4,290	-15.8%	-806
Grand Total	5,897	5,016	-14.94%	-881

In looking at the two crime categories, property crimes fell by 15.8% in 2019. Violent crime is down by 9.4%.

There were 14 homicides in Oxnard in 2019, equal to 2018. Detectives cleared eight of 2019’s homicide cases with arrests, with an additional seven cases from previous years. When combined, more homicide cases were cleared than occurred, creating a clearance rate of 107% in 2019. A more detailed explanation is listed in the attachment of this news release.

Oxnard’s 9.4% violent crime decrease was largely due to the reduction of robberies, having 52 less than the previous year. Through crime analysis staff and careful review of data, the department’s investigative and field units worked together to aggressively address robbery crime trends, as well as investigate those persons who were known to commit multiple robberies.

Property crimes were reduced by an overall 15.8%. The largest property crime category decrease was motor vehicle theft at 25.3%, followed by larceny, at 16.3%. The Oxnard Police Department continued to focus on property crime prevention efforts, and believes that this effort significantly contributed to the decrease.

Motor vehicle theft has been a historic problem, and detectives addressed this in a number of ways. Specifically, the property crimes detectives reinstated the Oxnard Police Auto Theft Task Force, and assigned an additional detective to focus on auto theft enforcement, using Intelligence-Led Policing strategies. Additionally, by focusing on prolific offenders, including monitoring, enhanced enforcement, probation searches, crime mapping, and partnerships with the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, along with the Ventura County Auto Theft Task Force, the Oxnard Police Department was able to reduce motor vehicle theft.

Police Chief Scott Whitney said, “We work very hard to reduce crime and make our city safer. We’re focused and smart in our efforts. We focus on violent offenders and frequent offenders. We respond quickly to crime trends and we rely on the trust and respect we have established within our neighborhoods to work closely with our residents.”

DUI Checkpoint nets eight DUI arrests

The Oxnard Police Department Traffic Unit arrested eight impaired drivers while conducting a DUI/Driver’s license checkpoint on February 15, 2020. The checkpoint was conducted on Oxnard Boulevard north of Second Street between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., resulting in the following:

736 vehicles screened
Eight DUI-alcohol suspects arrested
7 drivers cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or while suspended/revoked
12 citations issued
Three vehicles towed

DUI checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests.

Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with DUI can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to be approximately $13,500. This includes fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses not to mention possible jail time.

The Oxnard Police Department reminds drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, can impair and result in a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs.

Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

DETAILS:

On February 15, 2020, an alert employee at the Santa Clara Church noticed a suspicious subject, whom she believed may have stolen some sacred goods from the church last week, was loitering on church grounds possibly casing for an additional theft. Her suspicions were correct. Octavio Delgadillo was contacted by officers and found to be in possession of several stolen items. The monetary value of the stolen items qualified Delgadillo to be arrested for two separate felonies related to the theft, however, the church was happy to recover the consecrated liturgical antiques and regalia which they consider to be priceless.

Delgadillo was arrested more than 20 times in the city of Moorpark in 2019 and very recently relocated to the Oxnard area.
