Narrative:
On 04/24/2025, a 30-year-old Thousand Oaks resident, Rickie Ann Hudson, was arrested for burglary and other crimes. 
 
On 04/24/2025, at about 1:53 AM, a suspect, later identified as (S) Rickie Ann Hudson, used a hammer to smash the front window of the Vons grocery store located in the 600 block of Ventura Street in Fillmore.  Hudson entered Vons while employees were inside stocking shelves.  Hudson proceeded to burglarize the store and steal multiple bottles of liquor before fleeing the area on foot.
 
Patrol deputies responded, confirmed the crimes, and obtained video surveillance footage of Hudson. 
 
Detectives established a perimeter and conducted an extensive search of the area.  At about 3:34 A.M., Hudson was located hiding in a river bottom homeless encampment a short distance from the Vons.  Hudson was in possession of the stolen alcohol, which was recovered and returned to the victim.
 
Ultimately, Hudson was arrested for violations of Penal Code § 459 – [Burglary], Penal Code § 594(a) – [Vandalism], and Penal Code § 496 – [Possession of Stolen Property].  She was transported to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Pre-Trial Detention Facility where she was booked for the offenses pending court proceedings.
