A Ventura County Sheriff’s deputy is recovering from injuries he suffered after being hit by a vehicle fleeing the scene of an early morning burglary.
It happened just after 4:30 Wednesday morning in an unincorporated area of Ventura.
A deputy was responding to a commercial burglary call on the 8600 block of North Ventura Boulevard, when he confronted multiple suspects. They jumped into an SUV and a car, and one of the vehicles hit the officer.
He was taken to a hospital for treatment and has since been released.
Investigators are looking for witnesses, and are checking the area for surveillance video which may help find and identify the deputy’s attackers.
