By Gazette Staff Writers — Thursday, March 7th, 2024
On Saturday, March 2, at 11:26 p.m., a Fillmore deputy attempted to perform a traffic stop on a brown Kia Soul driving in Fillmore, matching the description from an earlier call in the day, where three vehicles were seen with multiple subjects throwing beer bottles at a residence in what is believed to be gang related. The incident was reported in the 700 block of A Street at approximately 5pm. The vehicle was reported stolen out of Oxnard and per a witness, deputies were able to confirm the suspect vehicle when deputies attempted to make a traffic stop. However, the driver failed to yield, leading deputies on a pursuit throughout Fillmore city limits before the suspects ran from the vehicles in the 500 block of Mockingbird Lane. While deputies were setting up a perimeter, a deputy spotted a suspect running and the suspect was arrested. Two additional suspects were also arrested after hiding residential yards. The suspects were taken to VC Juvenile Hall for unknown charges. If you have witnessed or have information, contact the Ventura County Sheriff’s Dispatch at (805)654-9511.
