Three people have been arrested after detectives allege they went on a theft spree targeting retail outlets in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. In some cases, the three suspects used an infant’s stroller to hide stolen items.
Staff at two stores notified Ventura County Sheriff’s officials after they witnessed a crew targeting businesses.
Three people from Kern County were identified and monitored as they committed thefts in four counties. They were spotted last week at a store in Thousand Oaks. They had an infant in a stroller and were hiding stolen items in it.
The child was put into protective custody. The adults were charged with commercial burglary, child endangerment, and other offenses.
