Ventura Police Department – Incident Press Release
On May 22nd at 8 AM residents of a house in the 1100 block of Poli Street left their house. As they left, they saw the suspect, later identified as Seth Dees, 4/27/79 vagrant, loitering near their house. A few minutes later, the suspect was out of sight and the residents suspected he may have gone onto their property. As they walked back to their house, they found the suspect inside of their residence. They confronted him as he was leaving with some of their property and called 911. The suspect left but responding officers found and detained him. At the conclusion of the investigation, officers determined the suspect had entered the house through an unlocked door, took property and left. Dees was arrested for residential burglary (felony).
A review of the Ventura County Superior Court website revealed Dees has been arrested seventeen times since 2015. His arrest charges include possession of narcotics, trespassing, vehicle tampering, resisting arrest, under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of narcotics paraphernalia and possession of an illegal weapon.
Sad what happened to him earlier in life, but being off his meds and using meth and committing crimes are personal choices.
Thanks for sharing, Matthew. So sad.
Ive known this guy my whole life… When we were kids he was jumped by 8 guys and was in the hospital for months with extensive brain damage… Hes off his meds and he starts using meth and it’s a recipe for disaster… Real shame
