On May 21, 2009, at about 11:10 A.M., an alert citizen reported a possible burglary in progress on the 400 block of Calle Converse. Responding units arrived as two suspects fled out the back of the home. One suspect (S1) was caught near the intersection of Calle Converse and Calle Higuera, with stolen property from the victim’s home in his pocket.

The second suspect (S2) was chased by deputies, on foot, to the 1600 block of Avineda Del Manzano where he was caught. While this suspect was being pursued, he was throwing jewelry, later identified as the victim’s, into the street and bushes.

The third suspect was found nearby and detectives were able to confirm she was the lookout.

S1 was booked at the Ventura County Main Jail for residential burglary and conspiracy. Bail was set at $50,000.00. The two juveniles were subsequently booked at Juvenile Hall for the same charges.

The Camarillo Police Department would like to remind all citizens in the county not to ignore someone knocking at their door. They may be better served to equip themselves with a phone and, without opening the door, acknowledge the persons presence.
