Oxnard Police Department – Incident Press Release
On April 5, 2020, at around 4:57 p.m., a patrol sergeant observed a suspicious vehicle blocking the driveway of a residence that was for sale in the 4800 block of Oceanaire Street. The sergeant stopped to investigate and spoke to a neighbor. As the sergeant was gathering information, the garage door at the for sale residence opened and two subjects emerged from it. Both of the subjects were detained for further investigation. Officers contacted the realtor responsible for the property who responded to the location. Officers searched the residence and found items that had been moved from their original location and appeared to be staged for pick-up. Officers searched the suspects’ vehicle and located additional items that were taken from the residence. Suspects Taylor Markham and Michael Arellanes, both age 26, were arrested for burglary. Officers on scene recognized suspect Markham as being wanted on two additional burglaries that recently occurred in the Seabridge area. Markham was arrested on those burglaries as well, for a total of three counts of burglary. Markham has a criminal history including a previous felony conviction for burglary in Santa Barabara County. Suspect Arellanes also has an extensive criminal history, is a convicted felon, and is currently on parole for robbery.
