DETALLES:DETALLES:

En 8/24/16 members of the Oxnard Police Department Neighborhood Policing Team and The State of California Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control (Abecedario) conducted a sting operation to apprehend offenders who furnish alcohol to minors. Four men were arrested for 25658(un) of the Business and Professions Code for furnishing alcohol to minors.

Oxnard Police Officers selected high traffic areas that have convenience stores and liquor stores that sell alcoholic beverages. Several underage decoys who are under the age of 21, loitered in front of these stores and asked people if they would buy them beer. The decoys would tell people that they were not old enough to buy alcohol and asked people if they would go into the store and buy the beer for them. Over a four hour period four men agreed to furnish alcoholic beverages to the minors.

Each suspect was observed taking money from the decoys and entering the stores to buy alcoholic beverages. Each of the four suspects came back outside and handed alcoholic beverages to the underage decoys. The men were detained a short distance away from the stores and questioned. Each suspect admitted that they had bought beer for the minors and they understood that they were not old enough to buy the alcohol themselves. Each of the suspects were issued a misdemeanor citation for 25658(un) of the Business and Professions Code and released from the scene. The retail locations did not commit any violations and they were unaware of our presence during the time of the operation. The alcoholic beverages were later returned to the stores after the arrests were made.

The Oxnard Police Department Neighborhood Policing Team focuses on crime and quality of life issues at the neighborhood level with a focus on Community Policing and Problem Solving. This includes working with other agencies such as The Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control to address those issues.

DETALLES:DETALLES:

El equipo de policía vecinal del Departamento de Policía de Oxnard (NPT) concluded a three week investigation into suspected drug use and sales at residence in the 1300 block of Lawrence Way which is in the West District. This location has been the source of police calls for service for months regarding suspected drug activity, suspicious persons loitering in front, people living in cars, suspicious cars coming and going as well as persons coming and going at all hours of the night. Officers made four arrests, recovered stolen property and found a stolen Honda on the street.

The West District Coordinators initiated an investigation and eventually obtained enough information to seek a search warrant regarding suspected narcotics activity from this home. The search warrant was served this morning by the Oxnard Police Department SWAT Team just after 8:00 a.m.. As the SWAT team approached the house to knock on the front door two men ran out the back and tried to escape. They were quickly detained by officers on the back side of the house who had been pre-positioned there to watch the back.

Four men were interviewed by investigators at the scene and ultimately arrested for a variety of narcotics violations. Two large dogs were taken for safe keeping by Oxnard Animal Control as they were not vaccinated or licensed. Code Compliance inspected an illegal structure discovered in the backyard that was being lived in. They will be issuing the homeowner a civil citation for city code violations related to the illegal structure and for having inoperable vehicles parked on the front lawn.

Terry Carlton is the person found to be in charge of the house. His mother is reportedly the legal owner of the home and he lives there with two of his siblings. Narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia were found inside his bedroom and he also admitted that narcotic users frequent his residence and use drugs there. Carlton was arrested for several narcotics violations with the most serious being a violation of 11366 of the Health and Safety Code for maintaining a drug house. This violation relates to operating or maintaining a place where illegal narcotics are consumed.

Tatsha Carlton (Terry’s sister) came to the police station later in the afternoon and was interviewed. She was arrested for a misdemeanor warrant and issued a misdemeanor citation for possession of stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia and released.

Three other men were arrested at the house: Gonzalo Duarte was arrested for drug possession, being under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of burglary tools; Eduardo Banales was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance and misappropriation of found property; Carlos Robledo was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance

Investigators also noticed a stolen car parked on street just two doors down from the house being searched. Esto 1998 Honda Civic was stolen in Oxnard five days ago on August 21^er. The car was recovered and will be returned to the owner. Investigators are still trying to determine if there is a link between the stolen car and the drug activity. Photos of the five suspects are attached.

The Oxnard Police Department Neighborhood Policing Team focuses on crime and quality of life issues at the neighborhood level with a focus on Community Policing and Problem Solving. This investigation is still on-going as one of the persons listed in the warrant was not located. The Oxnard Police Department will continue to monitor this residence and work closely with the Marina West community and neighborhood council.

DETALLES:The Oxnard Auto Theft Task Force has been working to educate the community about leaving their keys in their vehicle unattended. Over thirty percent of the vehicles stolen in the city had the keys left in them or left unattended with the engine running. The police department has distributed auto theft prevention flyers which reminded the community not to leave keys in their vehicle or to leave their vehicle running unattended. A Facebook positing was also placed on the Oxnard Police Department Facebook page warning citizens that leaving their vehicle running unattended is against the law.

The Oxnard Police Department recently began an enforcement campaign with the assistance of the Auto Theft Task Force, Traffic Unit and the Neighborhood Policing Team to enforce this law. Traffic citations were issued to residents that left their vehicles running unattended. During the month long enforcement campaign sixty citations were issued. The fine for leaving your vehicle running unattended is seventy dollars. The Oxnard Police Department will continue to aggressively enforce the law prohibiting leaving a vehicle running unattended.

Many people believe that a vehicle must be warmed up prior to driving. Most vehicles on the road today are no longer carbureted and instead are fuel injected. Experts have found that leaving a fuel injected motor running at an idle for an extended period of time prior to driving does not benefit the engine and will often be detrimental to the engine.
