Written by pwctoday.com Effective 0600 tomorrow Lake Piru is allowing ALL PWC to launch for an "initial period" of 90 days. Fees are $13 per day, per ski. Hours of operation are 0600-2000. Priority is given to those who camp. For the vast majority of SoCal this probably doesn't hold a lot of meaning. However for those of us in the SB/VC counties and SFV its great news anytime there is a new place to ride. This lake has been around since 1955 and never open to PWC that I can recall (other than those silly 4 person couches as they met a formally imposed minimum length). I myself am stoked, its long over due. Fortunately lack of water = lack of revenue and jetskiing has become a reality as its a source to generate/recover revenue. This is a immensely positive opportunity with serious growth potential to our PWC community and LPRA/UWCD. I will be showing my support by using the lake and doing my best to prove the jetski "sterotype" is just that. There are some pros and cons: PRO: This low level means boats cannot launch therefore are not on the lake, yet skis can and will be! Its low, but there is plenty of water to have a metric ton local fun. |

 Steve Michael Stevens, Transient – Ventura County, 30 On June, 22, 2015, video surveillance was released to the public showing a male subject with his family stealing a disabled elderly lady’s wallet. The crime took place at a gas station after the male subject distracted the elderly female and took the wallet out of her purse. The crime was captured on video surveillance. As a result of the release of the video surveillance, Thousand Oaks Investigators received over 25 phone calls from callers identifying the same male in the video as having stolen or attempted to steal from them. The callers were from both Los Angeles and Ventura Counties and the crimes occurred over the past 8 months. Some callers had very detailed information about the suspect who was identified as Steve Michael Stevens (age 30). This information helped lead to the whereabouts of Stevens and he was subsequently arrested on June, 24, 2015, at about 2:30 pm in the city of Oxnard. Stevens’ alleged scam involved telling victims he would do body work on their cars to fix minor damage or scratches. Stevens would then appear to do work on the damage and then cover it with a wax type substance. The victims were then told to wipe it off in 24 hours and the damage would be fixed The victims would pay Stevens and would later learn the damage was not fixed and was oftentimes worse. Stevens seemed to target females and elderly individuals. Stevens was also involved in other scams that involved arrangements to fix damage and ask for money up front. He would say he was leaving to get replacement parts or supplies and not return. Some victims lost over $1000.00 in the theft scams. Stevens was booked into Ventura County Jail for Grand Theft and Financial Elder abuse charges. His bail was set at $55,000. Nature of Incident: Public’s help leads to the arrest of suspect who stole elderly disabled female’s wallet |
