Oxnard Investigating Allegations Of Internal Municipal Utilities Theft

A South Coast community says it’s investigating the possible internal theft of municipal utility services.

Oxnard officials say they launched a probe two months ago, when information about possible thefts was discovered. City officials say the allegations involve solid waste disposal services.

They say they are still in the early stages of the investigation, but will take appropriate steps to insure accountability and transparency.

The Oxnard Police Department is also conducting an investigation into the alleged thefts.
