On July 17, 2022, officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to the 500 and 600 blocks of Eastwood Drive in reference to two burglaries that had occurred to occupied residences. It was learned the suspects entered the garage of the victim’s residence while they were asleep and stole several items from the garage and inside one of the residences. On August 4, 2022, detectives arrested 35-year-old Eduardo Madera, an Oxnard resident, for the burglaries. Property Crimes Detectives believed that Madera committed the crimes with an associate; thus, detectives continued to investigate the crimes.

On September 2, 2022, Flores was detained and arrested by Oxnard Police Officers. During that arrest, Flores was found in possession of burglary tools and charged with the additional crime. Flores was booked into Ventura County Jail on a charge of residential burglary and possession of burglary tools.
