   NEWS RELEASE

 

DATE:            April 6, 2023

SUBJECT:   Narcotic Sales / Gun Arrest

SUSPECTS: Edgar Vasquez Lopez, 20 year-old Oxnard Resident         

LOCATION:  100 block North Garfield Avenue, Oxnard

CONTACT:   Jose Velazquez, Sergeant

                      (805) 385-7620 (Tue-Fri 10AM-8PM) [email protected]

 

During the month of March 2023, the Oxnard Police Department Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU), with the assistance of the Violent Crimes Unit, began an investigation into Edgar Vasquez Lopez being involved in the sale of narcotics. The investigation allowed DEU detectives to develop enough evidence to obtain a search warrant.

 

On April 6th, 2023, DEU detectives, along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Neighborhood Policing Team, executed a search warrant at the residence of Mr. Lopez. The search of the residence yielded a large quantity of suspected cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, and “M30” fentanyl pills. In addition, investigators located a 9-millimeter Glock-style Polymer 80 semi-automatic handgun.  Further evidence of narcotics trafficking was seized along with a large quantity of US Currency.

 

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, “Fentanyl is approximately 100 times more potent than morphine, and 50 times more potent than heroin as a painkiller. Twenty-six percent of tablets tested in a DEA laboratory contained a lethal dose of fentanyl.”

 

Furthermore, Polymer 80 semi-automatic handguns are sold commercially as incomplete, without serial numbers, and must be further manufactured to make them into functioning firearms.

 

Mr. Lopez was charged with gun and narcotic sales related charges. He was booked into the Ventura County Main Jail.

   

The Oxnard Police Department is committed to reducing drug overdoses in the city of Oxnard.  Anyone with information regarding this case or other criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at (805) 385-7600, or online via the Oxnard Police Department’s website:  www.oxnardpd.org, and clicking on “Report Suspicious Activity.”  You can remain anonymous if you choose to do so by calling the Ventura County Crime Stoppers. at (800)222-8477.  You can also visit their website: www.venturacountycrimestoppers.org to submit a tip via text or email.

On April 5, 2023, at approximately 5:09 a.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to a call for service of an injury traffic collision at Victoria Avenue and Teal Club Road.

NEWS RELEASE

 

DATE:          March 28, 2023

SUBJECT:   Illegal Gambling Operation 

LOCATION:  JJ’s Tobacco, 3570 Saviers Road, Oxnard

SUSPECT:   Mazen Naddour, Male, 49-year-old Ventura Resident

CONTACT:   Steven Ramirez II, Corporal

                        (805) 385-3920 (Mon-Fri 8AM-6PM) | [email protected]

 

On March 23, 2023, at approximately 2:00 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to JJ’s Tobacco located at 3570 Saviers Road, regarding an illegal gambling operation. While at the business, officers seized two coin-operated “coin push” machines which are considered illegal gambling devices. During the investigation illegal proceeds of more than two-thousand dollars in coins and cash were recovered inside the machines. The business owner Mazen Nadddour (49 years) was arrested at the business and charged with two misdemeanor offenses.   

The State of California Bureau of Gambling Control defines the illegal gambling devices as any machine that a person pays to play, and that offer anything of value for playing. Per section 330a of the California Penal Code the violation is considered a misdemeanor offense and is punishable by a ($500) dollar fine, or imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding six months.       

The investigation was initiated during a Tobacco Compliance Inspection funded by the California Department of Justice. Funding for the Tobacco Grant Program was a result of the passage of the California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016 (Prop. 56) increasing taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products by $2.00 starting in April 2017. The initiative allocates a portion of annual revenue to the California Department of Justice. https://oag.ca.gov/tobaccogrants
