Narrative:
 
On November 24, 2018, at approximately 3:50 PM, a residence in the 13600 block of Donny Brook Lane was burglarized.  Suspicious activity was witnessed as two males unknown to the neighborhood were seen entering the backyard of a residence and later seen entering a vehicle occupied by a third suspicious male.  The witness was able to provide a detailed description of the suspects and contacted the police. 
 
Ventura County Sheriff’s Deputies from the Moorpark Police Station located the suspect’s vehicle and after an enforcement stop was attempted, the suspects fled, driving recklessly.  Due to the dangers of the reckless driving, the pursuit was cancelled.  Ventura County Sheriff’s Deputies from the Thousand Oaks Police Station found the suspect’s abandoned vehicle near Avenida De Los Arboles and the 23 Freeway.
 
The suspects fled from the vehicle into a nearby park, where deputies located all three suspects, with the support of the Sheriff’s helicopter, and took them into custody.  The vehicle driven by the suspects was later determined to be stolen.
 
Josiah Shephard and Kaleb Dixon were arrested for violations of 459 PC / Residential burglary, 182(a)(1) PC / Conspiracy to Commit a Crime, 10851(a) VC / Possession of a stolen vehicle, and 148(a)(1) PC / Resist, obstruct or delay and investigation.  The 15 year old juvenile was arrested for violations of 459 PC / Residential Burglary, 182(a)(1) PC / Conspiracy to Commit a Crime, 10851(a) VC / Possession of a stolen vehicle, 2800.1(a) VC / Evading without due regard for public safety, 148(a)(1) PC / Resist, obstruct or delay an investigation, and 12500(a) / Unlicensed driver.
