DETALLES:

Oxnard residents are partnering with the Oxnard Police and Fire Departments to bring you a series of National Night Out (– Los Departamentos de Policía y Bomberos de Oxnard y el Consejo Vecinal de Via Marina se están asociando para traer National Night Out) events scheduled for next Tuesday, Agosto 1, 2017 and Friday, Agosto 4, 2017.

NNO is a national effort of cities, law enforcement agencies, crime prevention organizations, community groups and neighborhoods. Along with traditional outside lights and front porch vigils, most cities and towns celebrate National Night Out with a variety of special citywide and neighborhood events such as block parties, cookouts, desfiles, festivals, visits from local officials and law enforcement, safety fairs, and youth events.

National Night Out is designed to: (1) heighten crime prevention awareness, (2) generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs, (3) strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and (4) send a message to criminals letting them know that community members are organized, vigilant and willing to report crime.

Events throughout Oxnard will bring the District Teams who patrol and serve each District to a location where they can meet their neighborhood members. District Teams focus on crime, traffic safety, and quality of life issues at the neighborhood level and need the public’s help to best do their jobs. Also participating in the event is the Oxnard Fire Department who will be sharing risk reduction and fire prevention strategies.

There is still time to schedule your own event! Just follow the below steps to have your own NNO event:

Each group that is participating is asked to notify the police department so that we can make arrangements to stop by.
You do not have to be part of an organized group (Neighborhood Council, Neighborhood Watch) to have an event.
This is about neighbors getting to know neighbors and celebrating together!
Contact your beat coordinator for assistance in setting up your event.
We can’t wait to hang out with you!

If you have any questions regarding National Night Out events in Oxnard, please contact Community Affairs Manager, Melissa Valdez at melissa.valdez@oxnardpd.org o (805) 342-8292.

DETALLES:

En julio 19, 2017, en aproximadamente 12:35 p.m., an Oxnard Police Department patrol sergeant attempted to make a traffic stop of a stolen gray, 2002, Ford, F-150 pickup truck near the intersection of Saviers Road and Hill Street. The vehicle was stolen from the 3400 block of Olds Road during a residential burglary that occurred earlier in the day. The brief pursuit was terminated due to concern for public safety after it entered residential streets traveling at high rates of speed.

Aproximadamente 8:30 a.m. today, members of the Oxnard Auto Theft Task Force observed the stolen vehicle being driven by a female driver in south Oxnard. Detectives were able to contact and arrest the driver in the area of Yucca Street and Saviers Road without incident.

The driver of the stolen vehicle was identified as Elisabeth Esquivel, un residente de Oxnard de 21 años. Esquivel was charged with felony possession of the stolen vehicle and felony possession of stolen property as during a search of the vehicle, stolen property was located within. The stolen property not only linked her to the original burglary on Olds Road but to an additional burglary of a home on the same street. It should be noted that Esquivel has already been arrested and convicted earlier this year for driving a stolen vehicle.

The victim’s vehicle was stolen while it was in the garage with the keys in the vehicle. El Departamento de Policía de Oxnard quisiera recordar a los residentes de los siguientes consejos para evitar los robos de vehículos:

Nunca deje su coche abierto, ni siquiera por un minuto.
Nunca deje las llaves en el coche, incluso si usted piensa que son realmente “oculto.”
No deje su coche al ralentí y sin vigilancia porque es innecesario (que no recibe suficiente frío aquí), es peligroso e ilegal, y alguien puede robar su coche.
rueda de esclusas, cerraduras pedal de freno y bloqueo de dirección de rueda son también eficaces.

If anyone has any information regarding stolen vehicles please contact Detective Enrique Alvarez at enrique.alvarez@oxnardpd.org o (805) 385-7664.

Working closely with the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Zambrano two days after Salazar was murdered.

En julio 22, 2017, en aproximadamente 11:15 AM, detectives with the Violent Crimes Unit observed Zambrano in a vehicle in the area of Third Street and “A” Street in the City of Oxnard. The detectives, along with officers assigned to the Special Enforcement Unit (SU), made contact with Zambrano and the female driver of the vehicle, where they were both taken into custody without incident. Zambrano was arrested for his outstanding warrant related to Salazar’s murder and the female driver was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance.
