OXNARD : Escaped Youth, 14, Arrested in Burglary
A 14-year-old Oxnard boy who had escaped from a Ventura detention center was arrested Thursday in Oxnard on suspicion of burglary, authorities said.
The unidentified youth was apprehended with Angel Gonzalez, 20, of Oxnard about 11:30 a.m. after a neighbor called police about what she believed to be a burglary in progress at a house in the 2000 block of North Ventura Road, police said.
A witness followed Gonzalez and the youth to an apartment on Mariposa Drive, where police found them hiding. Property stolen during the burglary was recovered inside the apartment, police said.
Gonzalez is in custody at Ventura County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.
The youth was booked into Ventura County Juvenile Hall.
