On 06/18/2018, a carjacking and robbery occurred in the area of Deer Creek Road, north of Pacific Coast Highway, in the unincorporated area of Ventura County. 
 
At about 4:00 a.m., an adult male was ordered out of his vehicle at gunpoint by two male suspects.  The suspects used force to take the victim’s personal property and vehicle.  The victim received minor injuries during the incident which were later treated at a local hospital.   
 
Deputies from the Camarillo Police Station and detectives from the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Bureau responded to the area to conduct an investigation.  Within a few hours, one suspect was identified as (S) John Martin. 
 
On 06/19/2018, detectives from the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Bureau, Sheriff’s Narcotics Bureau, and Sheriff’s Special Crimes Unit located Martin in the City of Oxnard.  Martin was contacted and detained.  Evidence related to the incident was located in Martin’s possession and he was arrested for one felony count of carjacking and one felony count of robbery.
