2 Stolen Cars Found; 2 Suspects Arrested
Oxnard police tracked down and recovered two stolen cars in the span of less than an hour early Saturday, authorities said.
According to police, an officer found the first car--a late-model Cadillac El Dorado reported stolen Friday night from a home on Deodar Avenue--on the 700 block of South Oxnard Boulevard shortly before 3 a.m.
Police arrested a juvenile, who was later booked into Juvenile Hall and charged with auto theft.
Two adults and another juvenile were also in the car. They were questioned and later released, police said.
The department’s second recovery occurred less than an hour later. Officers saw a Buick Regal, which had been reported stolen from a home on the 100 block of Gibraltar Street just minutes earlier, parked near Santa Lucia Drive and Balsam Drive.
Officers arrested 20-year-old Marco Antonio Ramirez of Oxnard on charges of auto theft, police said. He was later booked into Ventura County Jail. A female passenger was questioned and later released.
Both arrests occurred without incident, and the cars were returned to their owners.
