Dry cleaning business robbed Monday morning
By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Wednesday, December 1st, 2010
 Ventura County Sheriff's Department An unidentified man robbed a Newbury Park dry cleaning business late Monday morning and was seen leaving the area in a vehicle driven by an accomplice. No one was injured during the heist, and the suspect simulated a weapon. The suspect was described as an Hispanic male in his late 20’s with a medium build. He had dark hair and was wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt and black baggy pants. The suspect was seen getting into a tan Toyota Camry that was driven by another unidentified person. Deputies later found the Camry parked at a shopping center at the corner of Avenida De Los Arboles and North Moorpark Road. Investigators confirmed the Camry was the same vehicle that was stolen by two suspects during a carjacking and kidnapping that occurred in Newbury Park on Nov. 24, 2010. During that incident, the suspects confronted the victim at gunpoint and knifepoint at the Guadalajara Market in Newbury Park. The suspects robbed the victim and then drove him to Moorpark, where they released the victim but kept his vehicle. Investigators believe the same suspects were responsible for two additional robberies that occurred at businesses in Moorpark on the evening of Nov. 24, 2010. Ventura County Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and criminal complaint against the person(s) responsible for this crime. The caller may remain anonymous. The call is not recorded. Call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477). Location: Newbury Cleaners 2000 block of Newbury Road |
