OXNARD : Neighbor Helps Foil Burglary of Garage

A sharp-eyed neighbor helped Oxnard police nab two youths who were trying to steal about $1,000 worth of tools from a south Oxnard garage, police said Friday.

The woman noticed two boys entering her neighbor’s garage in the 1800 block of Arcadia Street at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday and notified police, authorities said.

Officers found one suspect hiding in bushes at the rear of the victim’s home, police said. A second youth was apprehended about 10 minutes later after officers searched the area, police said.

The youths, whose names were not released because of their age, were arrested on suspicion of burglary and booked into Juvenile Hall, police said. The suspects’ hometowns also were not available.

All property was recovered at the scene, police said.
