On February 16, 2017, at approximately 0952 hours, officers were dispatched to the area of Robert Ave. and N. A Street to investigate a possible attempted carjacking of a 67 year-old victim.

When the victim was contacted, he confirmed that he was washing his car when he was confronted by two male juveniles. One of the juveniles was in possession of a knife and demanded the victim’s car keys. The victim refused to relinquish his keys and ran for help.

Officers from the Neighborhood Policing Team were in the area and responded to the call. They located the suspected juveniles in the 500 block of N. A Street. The juveniles ran from the officers but were quickly apprehended. The victim identified the juveniles and a security video from a local business confirmed the victim’s story, however, the investigation is still ongoing. The juveniles were arrested for the attempted carjacking, resisting arrest, and elder abuse. If there are any witnesses to the event, please contact Detective Scott Coe at 805-385-7796 or via email at scott.coe@oxnardpd.org.
