DETAILS:
During the evening of Saturday, December 8, the Oxnard Police Department made two separate stolen vehicle arrests.
At 8:40PM, an Oxnard officer conducted a traffic stop on a white ’03 Ford Expedition in the area of Cedar and “B” Streets in Oxnard. The vehicle was determined to have been stolen back in November. The driver, Ramos, was arrested for the unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, and possession of stolen property, both felonies.
At 9:58PM, an off-duty Oxnard officer observed an occupied stolen vehicle in the area of Colonia Road and Anita Avenue in Oxnard. Oxnard officers arrived on scene and stopped the vehicle, a red ’18 Volkswagen Bug, in the alley of Cooper Road at Anita Avenue. The driver, Calvillo, was arrested for the unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, and possession of stolen property, both felonies.
Our city is currently experiencing a significant increase in stolen vehicles. To combat the problem, the Police Department is prioritizing taking a proactive comprehensive approach in the prevention, enforcement, and investigation of stolen vehicles.
A significant percentage of the stolen vehicles are preventable. The Oxnard Police Department would like to remind residents of the following tips to prevent a vehicle from being stolen:
- Never leave your car unlocked, not even for a minute.
- Never leave your keys in the car, even if you think they are really “hidden.”
- Don’t leave your car idling and unattended because it is unnecessary (it doesn’t get cold enough here), it is unsafe, illegal, and someone can steal your car.
- Wheel locks, brake pedal locks and steering wheel locks are also effective.
If anyone has any information regarding stolen vehicles please contact Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS or www.venturacountycrimestoppers.org to submit a tip via text or email.
