price arial, viagra 100mg sans-serif;”>The Thousand Oaks Police Investigations Bureau arrested two suspects for possession of stolen property and identity theft.
The Thousand Oaks Police Department has recently seen an increase in the amount of thefts from vehicles occurring in the city. On October 22, 2015, in an effort to address this recent increase in thefts, the Thousand Oaks Police Investigations Bureau conducted probation searches at locations throughout the city. During a probation search at a residence in the 2000 block of Willow Tree Court, detectives located a large amount of suspected stolen mail with listed addresses in both Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. In addition, numerous blank checks and suspected stolen California identification cards were located. The two suspects located inside the residence, identified as Marissa Pryor and Timothy Bunker, were arrested for possession of stolen property and identity theft.
A subsequent investigation identified over fifty suspected mail theft victims in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. The United States Postal Inspection Service was contacted and assisted with the investigation. Pryor and Bunker were booked into the Ventura County Jail. Each suspect’s bail was set at $50,000.
Thousand Oaks Police investigators will be conducting follow-up investigations in an attempt to identify other possible victims of mail theft and identity thefts perpetrated by these suspects. The Thousand Oaks Police Department would like to remind all of its residents to be alert for and report any suspicious activity in the community or regarding their personal information.

My wife and I were nearly victims of theft through our mail box. We didn’t realize that mail had been picked up and put a bill in our mail box. Later we noticed the mail carrier had already been to our house due to the fact that he was finishing his route on the other side of our street. We asked him if he had doubled back and picked up our mail and he said no. We checked the box and the bill was gone.
The following day, when the banks were open, we alerted them that a check had been stolen and gave them the check number. They checked and noticed that the check had been spent on things other than our bill. We immediately closed our account and opened another one. Something that isn’t as easy as it sounds. Before we left the bank we asked for a copy of the spent check and received it. It was rewritten to an individual and the amount increased. They call it washing a check.
Next, we called the police and gave them the falsified check and the detective knew the person who wrote the check. We also gave the police detective our carbon copy so that it was a rewritten. The good news is he was caught and prosecuted.
Just a suggestion, do NOT put the flag up on your mail box. It’s a sure indicator there might be something of value in it.
