DETALLES: As part of the Oxnard Police Department’s Operación segura y resistente initiative, the Department increased its special patrols in the month of May. This effort included officers conducting 54 probation and parole searches. These searches led to the arrests of 15 individuals for outstanding warrants- 9 of the warrants were for felony charges and 6 were for misdemeanor charges. These additional patrols augmented our normal patrol staffing and were focused on contacting individuals that may be responsible for committing a high number of crimes.

En 5/8/14, officers conducted a parole check on Christian Perez, un 22 residente de Oxnard años de edad, who was on parole for robbery. He was arrested for a felony charge of making criminal threats, on a pending investigation, and for violation of parole.

En 5/8/14, officers contacted Gonsalo Duarte, un 33 residente de Oxnard años de edad, who had an active warrant for his arrest for narcotics violations. He was contacted and found to be in possession of narcotics paraphernalia and ammunition. Duarte was prohibited from possessing ammunition because of his criminal convictions.

En 5/13/14, officers were conducting a probation check on Rene Carrillo, un 43 residente de Oxnard años de edad, who was on probation for identity theft and fraud related crimes. Officers searched Carrillo’s residence and found evidence of counterfeit check making. Carrillo was arrested for eight new counts of possessing fictitious checks and credit cards.

Officers are continuing these focused enforcement efforts into the month of June as we know a small number of offenders are responsible for a disproportionately high number of criminal activity.

The Oxnard Police Department continues to encourage residents to be partners in public safety as part of the Operación segura y resistente initiative. Anyone with information regarding criminal activity should contact the Oxnard Police Department at 385-7600, o los del Condado de Ventura a Crime Stoppers al (805) 222-8477 y http://www.venturacountycrimestoppers.org/contactus.aspx.

VÍCTIMA(S):	Name Withheld-Victim of Sexual Assault-11 Years Old
SOSPECHOSO(S):	Luis Contreras, 18 año, Oxnard Residente
PREPARADO POR:	Comandante Eric S. Sonstegard, Investigative Services Bureau (805) 385-7801, Eric.Sonstegard@oxnardpd.org
PERSONA DE CONTACTO & INFORMACIÓN DE CONTACTO:	Sr. Detective Dale McAlpine, Investigative Services Bureau (805) 385-3921, Dale.McAlpine@oxnardpd.org

DETALLES: En septiembre 2, 2014, Luis Contreras, an 18-year old Oxnard resident, was arrested after he allegedly gained entry into two residences in south Oxnard and sexually assaulted an 11-year old female who was sleeping in her bedroom along with her 6-year old brother.

Investigators from the Oxnard Police Department Family Protection Unit have been working since that time to determine whether Contreras was responsible for any additional hot prowl burglaries that have taken place in south Oxnard in the past year. After some excellent detective work, investigators were able to gather additional evidence linking Contreras to two additional burglaries in south Oxnard.

It is alleged that on March 18, 2014, a aprox. 3:25 a.m., Contreras entered a mobile home in the 2400 block of East Pleasant Valley Road via an open bedroom window. The screen to the window was cut to gain entrance. Once inside the bedroom, Contreras allegedly placed a rag over an eight-year old female’s mouth. The female woke up and began to scream for her parents. Contreras then fled out the opened bedroom window. La víctima no resultó herido.

In a similar incident on July 1, 2014, officers responded at approx. 2:45 a.m. to a report of a hot prowl burglary in progress in the 400 block of Dollie Street. In this incident, it is alleged that Contreras climbed through an open bedroom window and put his hand over the mouth of an 11-year old female who had been sleeping in her bedroom. The female was able to alert her father who chased Contreras from the residence.

En septiembre 18^ª, Contreras was arraigned in Ventura County Superior Court on the following charges:

Cuatro (4) counts of 459 P.C. Robo Residencial
Uno (1) count of 288(un) P.C. Lewd or Lascivious Act w/ a Child Under 14
Uno (1) count of 220(b) P.C. Burglary w/ Intent to Commit 288 P.C.

Contreras remains in custody at the Ventura County Jail. Su fianza se fijó en $300,000. His next scheduled court appearance is October 15^ª. The charges that Contreras faces carry with them a maximum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole if convicted. Contreras will also be required to register as a sex offender if convicted.

The Oxnard Police Department wants to remind residents to exercise caution and continue to utilize the crime prevention tips we have been sharing throughout the year. These tips are part of our ongoing Operación segura y resistente initiative and can be found on our Department website, Facebook page, and on Nextdoor.com.

Lock all windows and doors at night when you leave your residence or vehicle unattended.
Close all of your windows-thieves can open vehicles and access homes through the smallest of openings.
Don’t forget to set your residential alarm if you have one.
To avoid obstruction, keep your landscaping trimmed.
The best crime prevention tool ever invented is a GOOD NEIGHBOR! One of the best crime fighting teams are neighbors working in conjunction with the police department, and reporting all suspicious activity.
Report any suspicious activity or persons to the Oxnard Police Department at (805) 385-7740.

Investigators from the Family Protection Unit are still investigating these cases as well as similar incidents that have occurred in south Oxnard in the past 12 mes. We believe it is still possible that there may have been additional incidents such as these that have gone unreported by potential victims. We want to encourage anyone that has information about these incidents or any related incidents to call the Oxnard Police at (805) 385-3921. Si desea permanecer en el anonimato puede llamar a la línea directa de crímenes violentos en (805) 982-7070 o Ventura County Crime Stoppers al (800) 222-8477.
