OXNARD : 4 Arrested in Sports Store Burglary
Police arrested an Oxnard man and three male juveniles suspected of burglarizing a sports equipment store early Monday morning, authorities said.
Gilbert Mondesi, 21, is being held at Ventura County Jail on a charge of burglary, Oxnard Police Sgt. Fred Berry said. The juveniles were taken to Juvenile Hall, Berry said.
California Sport Shop, at 736 N. Ventura Road, has been hit by burglars at least five times this summer, losing as much as $8,000, said store spokesman Richard Rodriguez.
Police are investigating whether the people arrested Monday are responsible for earlier thefts, Berry said. About 2:30 a.m. Monday, the group allegedly entered the back of the store by breaking through an outside utility closet and climbing between the beams that adjoined the main building, Rodriguez and Berry said.
