| On October 7, 2025, a suspect was arrested in reference to a peeping and burglary of an occupied residence. On September 22, 2025, Thousand Oaks Patrol Deputies responded to a late report of an unknown suspect who had been observed looking through the window of an occupied residence. The suspect then made partial entry into the residence. This occurred during the early morning hours of September 22, 2025. The East County Investigations Property Crimes Unit learned of the incident and immediately launched an investigation. Through various investigative techniques and resources, the suspect was identified as Joanky Galvez. On October 7, 2025, Detectives with the East County Investigations Property Crimes Unit and Special Enforcement Unit (SEU), located and arrested Galvez in the City of Simi Valley for PC 647(i) – Peeping, and PC 459 – Burglary. Detectives then executed a search warrant at Galvez’s residence where additional evidence of the crimes was obtained.

If you see something, say something.
