The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s assistance to identify the suspect in the attached photographs. He is responsible for a vehicle burglary that occurred in Fillmore on September 15, 2018.

The owner of the vehicle had parked her car in the 3100-block of Telegraph Road in Fillmore, leaving her purse inside. When she returned to her vehicle several hours later, she discovered someone had smashed a window and removed her purse from the vehicle.

Residents are reminded to remove all valuable property from their vehicles and lock their car doors when they park.
