Oxnard PD catches auto thief
On September 23, 2015 at approximately 7:40 a.m., detectives from the Oxnard Police Department Auto Theft Task Force observed a 2010 Ford Escape which had recently been reported stolen to the Oxnard Police Department. The suspect, 32 year old Oxnard resident, Emmanuel Candido abandoned the vehicle as uniformed officers approached. Candido fled on foot and was subsequently apprehended by responding officers.
Emmanuel Candido is a Post Release Offender (PRO) and was found to have three outstanding felony warrants, including one related to a previous vehicle theft. Candido was found to be in possession of a large amount of narcotics packaged for sales. Candido was subsequently booked for the outstanding felony arrest warrants, unlawful driving of a stolen vehicle, possession of a stolen motor vehicle and possession of narcotics for sales.
The Oxnard Police Department Auto Theft Task Force, asks residents to help prevent auto theft in our community by never leaving your keys in your vehicle.
The Post Release Offender program was created by Assembly Bill 109 – the 2011 Public Safety Realignment – which was effective October 1, 2011. This program mandates that individuals sentenced to non-violent, non-serious or non-sex offenses will serve their sentences in county jails instead of state prison. The public should be aware that release under AB 109 is based on the offender’s most recent commitment offense, prior convictions are not considered
The Oxnard Police Department continues to encourage residents to be partners in public safety as part of the Operation Safer and Stronger initiative. Anyone with information regarding criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department at (805) 385-7600, or the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at (805) 222-8477 and http://www.venturacountycrimestoppers.org/contactus.aspx
