Narrative:
 
 
 
 
On November 22, 2021 at about 2:27 a.m., deputies were dispatched to a report of a suspicious vehicle near Carnation Street and Buttercup Street in Fillmore.  Deputies located the vehicle and attempted to contact its occupants.  The vehicle failed to yield, and a short pursuit occurred.  The suspicious vehicle collided with a block wall and the occupants fled on foot.  The occupants were not located, and the abandoned vehicle was later determined to be a stolen flatbed truck from the Sylmar area. 
 
The bed of the truck contained numerous items that included a blue Graco bag with an Ultra sander and Dewalt charger inside, potted plants, two rolls of black roofing material, several pieces of 2 x 4 lumber, black rubber boots, Whirlpool microwave oven trim kit, brown construction work belt, two sledgehammers, red Porter Cable air compressor, red gas can, plugin industrial light, one Red Eagle crawfishing kit, black Titan toolbox, and one yellow Karcher pressure washer.  These items are currently being retained at the Fillmore Police Station. 
 
Several Fillmore residents have already come forward and identified some of the property not listed above as belonging to them after discovering they were victims of theft.  The Fillmore Police Department is asking residents who may have information about these crimes or if it is believed any property listed above belongs to them to call the below listed telephone numbers. 
 
The Fillmore Police Department encourages citizens to immediately report suspicious people and vehicles, and to promptly report any crime they come across by calling 911.  The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank members of the public for their ongoing support and help in  providing information to assist our agency in solving crimes.  We are better at what we do because of our community partnerships.
