During the month of March 2018, Detectives with the Thousand Oaks Police Department’s Special Enforcement Unit concluded an investigation into the theft of multiple vehicles from a car dealership in Ventura. One of the suspects arrested as a result of that investigation was Ali Maadarani, who was employed by the car dealership. Shortly thereafter, a Thousand Oaks based car dealership recognized Maadarani as a previous employee, and determined a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee had been stolen during the time Maadarani was employed there.
Detectives with the Thousand Oaks Special Enforcement Unit conducted an investigation and determined there was probable cause to arrest Maadarani for an additional count of 10851(a) VC – Unlawful Taking of a Vehicle.
