By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Wednesday, October 27th, 2010
Ventura County Sheriff's Department Detectives and Special Enforcement Unit deputies from the Thousand Oaks Police Department arrested three local residents for multiple residential burglaries that occurred within the City of Thousand Oaks. During the past several months, there have been over twenty-five residential burglaries in the City of Thousand Oaks in which kitchen appliances were stolen from vacant homes. On Wednesday morning, a surveillance team, armed with vital information received from witnesses to some of the burglaries, paid off when investigators watched three suspects case the area in an attempt to commit another residential burglary. The three suspects were stopped and arrested for burglary charges. Further investigation led to the recovery of some of the stolen appliances from a recent residential burglary in Thousand Oaks. The appliances included a refrigerator, stove, oven and dishwasher. All three suspects were booked into the Pre-Trial Detention Facility for residential burglary, possession of burglary tools, conspiracy to commit a crime, and being under the influence of a controlled substance. Jesus Hernandez was also booked for a no-bail, out-of-county warrant for residential burglaries, where he was linked to stealing appliances from vacant homes in the cities of Santa Monica and Irvine.
