| On November 17, 2017, Thousand Oaks patrol deputies responded to CVS store in Newbury Park for an attempted robbery that had just occurred. Deputies determined that a male subject wearing a clown mask entered the store, brandished a handgun to the cashier, and demanded money. The suspect was scared off and fled the scene before receiving any money from the cashier. Patrol deputies, Special Enforcement Unit detectives, and detectives from the Thousand Oaks Police Investigation Bureau arrived at CVS pharmacy and started the investigation. Shortly after their arrival, Cameron Diesso and a male juvenile were detained in the nearby area. Through investigation, detectives determined Cameron Diesso and the male juvenile were responsible for the attempted robbery.
