On October 20th, 2020, the Ventura Police Department began an investigation into an incident where a victim’s vehicle had the brake lines severed while it was parked at the Santa Clara parking structure. The victim drove away from the parking structure and the braking system of the vehicle began to fail. The victim was able to stop her vehicle before a catastrophic failure occurred.
During the investigation, it was determined that a former acquaintance of the victim, Pedro Galindo, was responsible for severing the brake lines. A search warrant was conducted in January at Galindo’s residence in Simi Valley to seek physical evidence.
On July 1st, 2021, enough information was obtained regarding the crime and an arrest warrant was issued. Ventura Police detectives located Galindo at his place of employment in Glendale and he was subsequently arrested for his outstanding warrant.
Galindo was booked into Ventura County Jail on charges of felony assault.
