DETALLES:: After a month long investigation, the Oxnard Police Department and Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Financial Crimes Units arrested Josh Carlton Evans, un 39 residente de Camarillo años de edad, for financial abuse of a dependent adult, gran robo, and Identity Theft crimes. From September 2015 through October 2015, Evans used Personal Identifying Information of a terminally ill former employer to impersonate that employer and steal construction materials from a variety of contract suppliers in Ventura and Los Angeles counties. The investigation was aided by cooperation from several construction supply businesses that absorbed the financial losses.
En noviembre 12, 2015, Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Special Enforcement Officers arrested Evans as he left his home. Oxnard Police Department Detectives served Search Warrants authorized by the Ventura County Superior Court and recovered many stolen items from the suspect’s home and vehicle. The investigation was supported by the Elder Abuse Unit of the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, and criminal charges were filed against Evans. Evans was booked into Ventura County Jail with a bail of $100,000.
Evans has worked for several different employers in Ventura County. Anybody with information regarding these crimes should contact Detective Erica Escalante of the Oxnard Police Department’s Financial Crimes and ID Theft Unit at (805) 385-7661.
