Camarillo liquor store targeted, Fillmore man tied to April stabbing, more
A Camarillo liquor store was burglarized early June 21 with the culprits smashing through a front glass area and using a power tool to get past a metal gate, authorities said.
The burglary was reported around 7:15 a.m. when workers arrived to find the front glass broken out, said Ventura County Sheriff's Capt. Tyler Abbott. The city of Camarillo contracts its police services with the sheriff's office.
Surveillance video later showed the break-in happened around 2:55 a.m., and the suspects used a sledgehammer to break the glass and a power tool called a sawzall to cut through a metal gate, he said. The suspects hauled off with $1,000, lottery scratcher tickets and a tip jar, Abbott said.
The culprits left in an older model Honda CRV with no plates. No alarm was activated in the burglary, Abbot said.
Anyone with information about the burglary can call Camarillo police at 805-388-5100.
Authorities arrested a Fillmore man on June 18 in connection to a pair of stabbings in April and for allegedly threatening a potential witness.
The Ventura County Sheriff's Office arrested the 22-year-old man on suspicion of dissuading a witness by force or threat, battery and participation in a street gang, according to a sheriff's office news release. The city of Fillmore contracts its police services with the sheriff's office.
The arrest comes after a monthslong investigation into two stabbings that took place shortly after 2:20 p.m. on April 15, sheriff's officials said.
One victim with a stab wound was found by deputies in the 400 block of Mountain View Street. The second victim arrived at the Fillmore Police Station seeking medical assistance and was transported to a local hospital, sheriff's officials said.
The suspect allegedly confronted, dissuaded and battered a member of the community while they attempted to gather information during the incident.
Sheriff's investigators searched a residence in the 200 block of Mutau Circle in Fillmore and found evidence that tied the man to the alleged stabbings and a criminal street gang, according to the sheriff's office.
The man was released on bond on June 18, jail records show. He is scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on July 2.
Two Ventura County residents were arrested on June 18 after being tied to alleged illegal firearms sales, including a 'ghost gun,' authorities said.
A 19-year-old Camarillo man and a 20-year-old Oxnard man were arrested on suspicion of felony offenses, including conspiracy to commit a crime, possession of a large capacity magazine and unlawful transfer of a weapon, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office is contracted to provide police services for the city of Camarillo.
The arrests came after a monthslong investigation into a suspect in possession of an illegally owned firearm, sheriff's officials said. Investigators identified the suspect as the Camarillo man and later tied the Oxnard man as a conspirator.
Sheriff's investigators searched a residence in 1700 Block of Alexander Street of Oxnard. The 20-year-old suspect allegedly attempted to flee during the search but was caught and arrested, sheriff's officials said. He also faces a charge of resisting arrest, authorities said.
Detectives also searched the 19-year-old's residence in the 1200 block of Harris Avenue in Camarillo and found a Glock-style 9 mm without serial numbers, also known as a 'ghost gun." Investigators also found a 31-round Glock large-capacity magazine and an AR-15 upper receiver, sheriff's officials said. He also faces a felony charge for possession of a large-capacity magazine.
Both men were released on bond on June 19, jail records show. They are scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on July 2, jail records show.

Judge orders Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release before trial, but he will likely be detained by ICE
A Tennessee judge on Sunday ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose mistaken deportation has become a flashpoint in President Trump's immigration crackdown, while he awaits a federal trial on human smuggling charges. But he is not expected to be allowed to go free. At his June 13 detention hearing, prosecutors said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would take Abrego Garcia into custody if he were released on the criminal charges, and he could be deported before he has a chance to stand trial. U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday to discuss the conditions of Abrego Garcia's release. The U.S. government has already filed a motion to appeal the judge's release order. Holmes acknowledged in her ruling Sunday that determining whether Abrego Garcia should be released is "little more than an academic exercise" because ICE will likely detain him. But the judge wrote that everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence and "a full and fair determination of whether he must remain in federal custody pending trial." Holmes wrote that the government failed to prove that Abrego was a flight risk, that he posed a danger to the community or that he would interfere with proceedings if released. "Overall, the Court cannot find from the evidence presented that Abrego's release clearly and convincingly poses an irremediable danger to other persons or to the community," the judge wrote. Abrego Garcia has pleaded not guilty to the smuggling charges that his attorneys have characterized as an attempt to justify the deportation mistake after the fact. The acting U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, Rob McGuire, argued on June 13 that the likely attempt by ICE to try to deport him was one reason to keep him in jail. But Holmes said then that she had no intention of "getting in the middle of any ICE hold." "If I elect to release Mr. Abrego, I will impose conditions of release, and the U.S. Marshal will release him." If he is released into ICE custody, that is "above my pay grade," she said. The judge suggested that the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security could work out between themselves whether the government's priority is to try him on the criminal charges or deport him. No date has been set for the trial. Will Allensworth, an assistant federal public defender representing Abrego Garcia at the detention hearing, told Holmes that "it's not necessarily accurate that he would be immediately deported." A 2019 immigration judge's order prevents Abrego Garcia, who had been living in Maryland, from being deported to his home country of El Salvador, Allensworth said in court. That's because he faces a credible threat from gangs there, according to court papers. The government could deport him to a third country, but immigration officials would first be required to show that third country was willing to keep him and not simply deport him back to El Salvador, Allensworth said. The smuggling charges stem from a 2022 traffic stop for speeding in Tennessee during which Abrego Garcia was driving a vehicle with nine passengers. Although officers suspected possible smuggling, he was allowed to go on his way with only a warning. At the detention hearing, McGuire said cooperating witnesses have accused Abrego Garcia of trafficking drugs and firearms and of abusing the women he transported, among other claims. Although he is not charged with such crimes, McGuire said they showed Abrego Garcia to be a dangerous person who should remain in jail pretrial. Abrego Garcia's attorneys have characterized the smuggling case as a desperate attempt to justify the mistaken deportation. The investigation was launched weeks after the U.S. government deported Abrego Garcia and the Supreme Court ordered the administration to facilitate his return amid mounting public pressure. Chris Newman, an attorney who represents Abrego Garcia's family, previously told CBS News, "The Trump administration is very invested in making this a referendum on the immigration debate, which, as you know, has become coarsened and polarized." "And that is one way to look at it. And I think certainly a lot of people view it that way. I don't view it that way. I view this as a core constitutional order case, a core due process case," Newman said. "And it just so happens that a Salvadoran immigrant is defending bedrock constitutional protections for all of us." Most people in ICE custody who are facing criminal charges are not kept in the U.S. for trial but deported, Ohio State University law professor César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández said. The U.S. will likely try to deport Abrego Garcia quickly without going before an immigration judge, the professor said. The government would not need a conviction to deport him because Abrego Garcia came to the U.S. illegally. "The legal standard is laxer," García Hernández said. "The government's argument is on stronger legal footing." However an immigration judge rules, the decision can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, García Hernández said. And the board's ruling can then be contested in a federal appeals court.
