During the month of February 2023, Detectives from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Street Team identified Donald Cunningham as a source of narcotics supply to residents of Ventura and Los Angeles County. The investigation revealed Cunningham was operating out of his residence in the 11100 block of Newcastle Street in Granada Hills.
Detectives were granted a search warrant for Cunningham, his residence, and his vehicles by the Ventura County Superior Court. On June 23, 2023, Narcotics Detectives executed the search warrant at Cunningham’s residence. Cunningham fled into an open wash to the rear of his residence and temporarily eluded capture.
