On 05/28/2024, a robbery occurred in the 600 block of Ventura Street in Fillmore.  At approximately 12:30 PM, a male walked into the Wells Fargo Bank, located in the 600 block of Ventura Street in Fillmore, and handed the bank teller a note demanding money.  After a short time of engaging in communication with the teller, the suspect fled the location on foot. 
 
Fillmore patrol deputies along with Fillmore detectives responded to the location and initiated an investigation.  For the next two days, Fillmore detectives collaborated with detectives from the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Bureau in an effort to identify the suspect.   
 
On 05/31/2024, deputies from the Fillmore police station contacted a subject matching the attempt-robbery suspect’s description.  The suspect was identified as Jair Camarena.  Fillmore detectives responded to assist and located evidence linking Camarena to the attempt-robbery from Wells Fargo Bank on 05/28/2024.
 
On 05/31/2024, during the afternoon hours, resources from the Fillmore Bureau of Investigation and Sheriff’s Major Crimes Bureau executed a search warrant at Camarena’s residence located in the 200 block of Village Square in Fillmore.  As a result of the search warrant, additional evidence linking Camarena to the crime was located. 
 
Camarena was arrested for a violation of Penal Code 664-211 [Attempt-Robbery] and subsequently booked at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility (PTDF) pending court proceedings.
