Narrative:
Fillmore Patrol Services arrested two Los Angeles County residents for felony offenses of burglary and conspiracy to commit a crime.
 
On 05/06/2024, during the early morning hours, a vigilant Fillmore resident called Sheriff’s Communication Center to report a vehicle burglary in progress in the 600 block of Mountain View Street, Fillmore.  The resident was able to provide information, which included a suspect vehicle description.  The Sheriff’s Communication Center coordinated with Fillmore patrol resources and dispatched them to the area of the reported crime.     
 
Deputies responded to the area and located the suspect vehicle.  An enforcement stop was conducted, and the occupants were identified as Diego Solis and Victor Valtierra.  Both were detained pending the investigation. 
 
After a thorough investigation by deputies, Solis and Valtierra were identified as the suspects involved and were arrested for Penal Code § 459 – [Burglary] and Penal Code § 182(a)(1) – [Conspiracy to Commit a Crime].  A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of thousands of dollars’ worth of stolen merchandise, which included property belonging to a Fillmore resident.  Both subjects were booked at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility. 
 
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office would like to provide our community with the following tips to deter/prevent vehicle thefts:
  • Take your vehicle keys; do not leave them in or on your vehicle.
  • Close and lock all windows, doors, and utility compartments when you park.
  • Park your vehicle in well-lit areas if possible.
  • Never leave valuables in your vehicle, especially if they can be seen from outside the vehicle.
  • Consider installation of an alarm system.  Audible alarms could prevent your vehicle from being broken into or stolen. 
  • Lastly, report any suspicious activity to your local police department.  If you see something, say something. 
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank members of the public for their on-going support and due diligence in providing information to assist our agency in solving crimes. We are better at what we do because of our community partnerships.  Join us in the fight on crime by following us on Twitter @fillmoresheriff, Facebook, Instagram @VCSHERIFF, and with Nixle by texting your zip code to 888777 to receive local law enforcement and public safety alerts and advisories.
