Ventura County Sheriff's Department

A Thousand Oaks juvenile was arrested on 12/06/2010 for entering two separate occupied residences during the middle of the night and accessing the victims’ Internet and television services.

During the last three weeks, the suspect entered two separate residences between the hours of midnight and 4:00am. The suspect entered the residences through unlocked doors and windows. Once inside the residence, the suspect would access the homeowners’ Internet and television services. During both incidents, the residents were home and asleep in their bedroom.

During an interview with the suspect, he admitted to the crimes, and further stated he attempted to enter two additional homes. The suspect was unsuccessful in entering the additional homes because all the doors and windows were locked.

This case illustrates the importance for people to be diligent in remembering to lock all doors and windows to their house when going to bed and when leaving their residence.
