Oxnard Police Department Incident Press Release
On 3/3/20, at approximately 4:04 p.m., officers were dispatched to a possible interrupted residential burglary that just occurred in the 200 block of West First Street. The suspect fled the scene and was last seen running northbound on A Street. A description of the suspect was broadcasted and responding units began searching the area. Officers located a subject who matched the description at First Street and Oxnard Blvd. and detained him for further investigation.
Officers interviewed the victim and determined it was not a burglary. However, the resident reported the suspect was looking through her front window. The suspect then walked around to the side of the house and entered the backyard where the resident confronted the suspect and threatened to call the police, at which time the suspect fled the scene on foot.Â
An infield identification was conducted and the resident positively identified suspect Scott Estrada, age 27. Estrada, who is on parole for burglary, was arrested for prowling, possession of narcotic paraphernalia, and violation of his parole. He is a prolific offender. A review of his criminal history shows he has been arrested over a dozen times for burglary, over a dozen times for prowling, and over six times for auto theft.
