    Ventura County Sheriff Department – Incident Press Release

    In February 2019, a Lockwood Valley Deputy arrested Paul Jenkins for possessing a stolen trailer in violation of California Vehicle Code (CVC) 10851(a). In March 2019, Lockwood Valley Deputies arrested Nicole Denton, Paul Jenkins wife, with an additional stolen trailer in Lockwood Valley. During that investigation, the deputies learned Jenkins and Denton had a stolen motorcycle on their property in Camp Scheideck and evidence indicating the property was being used as a chop shop in violation of CVC 10801. The Lockwood Valley Deputies obtained a search warrant to recover the stolen motorcycle and search for additional stolen property as well as evidence pertaining to the chop shop operation.

    The Lockwood Valley Deputies, Ojai Detectives Bureau, and the Ventura County Auto Theft Task Force served the search warrant in Camp Scheideck. During the warrant service, evidence of a chop shop operation, two stolen vehicles, three stolen license plates, a loaded sawed off 12 gauge shotgun with the serial number obliterated, an unregistered .22 caliber rifle converted to a pistol, and various explosives were located.

    On 04/16/19, Jenkins was arrested for possessing explosives without a permit in violation of Health and Safety Code 12305. Warrants have been requested for the additional violations uncovered during the search warrant operation.
