DETAILS: On January 13, 2017, at approximately 7:00 a.m., the Oxnard Police Department SWAT team, K-9 unit, and Violent Crimes Unit, served a search warrant in the 1500 block of Crawford Street. This location was the residence of 41 year old Daniel Miramontes. The search warrant was in response to several arrests involving Miramontes being in possession of multiple firearms spanning from July 2016 through December 2016. During each of his subsequent arrests, Miramontes has been able to post bail allowing him to remain in Oxnard and continue his criminal activity.
During today’s search warrant, two rifles, a stolen shotgun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a high power magazine, and a military tactical vest were seized. This brings the total number of guns seized from Miramontes to seven.
Taken into account his immediate past history and his propensity to continue to reoffend, his actions have clearly shown a threat to the citizens of Oxnard. Following today’s arrest, Oxnard Police Investigators petitioned the court to increase his bail from $100,000 to $1,000,000. Miramontes was booked and charged with multiple weapons charges.
