Child Annoying
By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Tuesday, September 4th, 2012
 Ventura County Sheriff's Department On August 28, 2012, at about 7:30 p.m., a female minor was walking home from Thousand Oaks High School. A white adult male, driving a black truck, stopped and contacted the female, while remaining in his truck. The male offered the female money. The female, frightened by the male, declined his offer and hurried home. She reported the incident to police. The following day, two other female minors were skateboarding near CVS Pharmacy located at 125 North Reino Road, when a white male driving a black truck approached them. The male subject offered them money, but the girls declined his offer and walked into the store. Approximately five minutes later, the girls walked out of the store. The male subject again approached them and proceeded to offer them money. The incidents appear to be related. Thousand Oaks Police Department is conducting an active investigation and is seeking information from the public regarding these two incidents or any similar incidents. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Luna (805) 494-8229. The Thousand Oaks Police Department would like to remind the community to be aware of their surroundings and to continue to educate their children about personal safety. In both these events, the girls remained calm, sought shelter, and notified an adult immediately. Their actions clearly contributed to their safety.
