On Tuesday, September 15, 2020, Oxnard Police Officers responded to a commercial business located on the 1600 block of Westar Drive in the city Oxnard, regarding several employees reporting a burglary of their personal belongings from their storage cubicles.
Employees reported that an unknown male suspect entered the employee breakroom and began to remove personal belongings from storage cubicles designated for employee use. During the burglary, the suspect located keys belonging to an employee’s vehicle, which was stolen by the suspect as he left the business. The burglary was captured on video surveillance, later provided to Oxnard Police Department Property Crimes Detectives. The video provided a clear image of the suspect, but identification of the suspect was not possible at the time because he was wearing a mask.
