DETAILS: 

An alert witness inside of an Oxnard high-rise helped police locate a stolen vehicle suspect this evening.

At about 7:20 p.m. Oxnard police received a call of a man refusing to leave in front of Food 4 Less, 150 W. Esplanade Drive. Upon officers’ arrival, the man jumped into a car and sped away.

Officer Ramiro Holguin pursued the fleeing car. During the short pursuit, the officer determined the car, a 2005 Kia, was reported stolen out of Camarillo on May 28.

The suspect drove to the area of the parking structure adjacent to the financial towers at 300 E. Esplanade Drive, where he stopped and ran towards the College Park neighborhood.

Seeing the police activity, an anonymous witness inside of the nearby financial tower called police and provided information as to the location of the suspect who had jumped a wall into the backyard of a residence in the 200 block of St. Mary’s Drive.

An Oxnard police K-9 team located the suspect hiding in a backyard storage shed. He was taken into custody without incident.

The observations of this high-rise witness were pivotal in the successful capture of this suspect.

Ramiro Ernesto Rosas-Rueda, 22, of Oxnard was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle. He was booked into the Ventura County Jail and held on $10,000 bail.

An investigation is continuing.

DETAILS: 

Poor timing on the part of three suspects led to their arrests on a variety of charges following a residential burglary earlier today.

At 3:33 p.m. Oxnard officers were dispatched to the 5200 block of South “J” Street for a residential burglary that occurred earlier in the day. Among the items stolen was a checkbook.

At 5:46 p.m. the unidentified resident went to the Bank of America branch on Saviers Rd. to put a stop on her stolen checks. As the victim was talking to one teller, two women were speaking with an adjacent teller. It turns out the pair was attempting to cash the victim’s stolen checks. Bank employees immediately contacted police.

One woman was able to cash a check in the amount of $500. The second woman was not successful in cashing her check. The women left the bank and entered an awaiting white 2000 Honda Accord 4-door. Oxnard officers initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle. Prior to the car stopping, one of the females tore-up and threw the un-cashed check out the car window.

Officers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle without further incident. During a search of the Honda, a loaded .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun was located in the passenger compartment and the stolen checkbook was located in the trunk. The $500 in cash, unlawfully obtained at the bank, was also recovered.

All three subjects were placed under arrest for the following charges. They are being held at the Ventura County Jail with the following bail amounts:

Cesar Reyes
Possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle, possession of stolen property. Bail: $50,000.

Elizabeth Ramos
Forgery, possession of stolen property, possession of narcotics paraphernalia, conspiracy. Bail: $20,000.

Genveva Corona-Segura
Forgery, possession of stolen property, conspiracy, no-bail criminal warrants. Bail: None.

An investigation is continuing.
