Narrative:
On October 23, 2025, Detectives from the East County Major Crimes Bureau concluded an investigation into a vandalism incident that occurred in late September in the Newbury Park area. During the incident, a group of juveniles riding e-bikes reportedly threw a rock at a passing vehicle, causing significant damage.
Over the past several months, deputies have received multiple reports of juveniles throwing objects at moving vehicles and engaging in similar reckless behavior in the same area. Following a detailed investigation, detectives identified two juveniles believed to be responsible for the act. Evidence and corroborating witness statements linked the suspects to the crime.
Both juveniles were arrested for 182(a)(1) PC - conspiracy and 594(b)(1) PC - felony vandalism, and released into the custody of their parents. Several other juveniles who were present were interviewed and found not to have participated in the vandalism.
The Sheriff’s Office reminds the public that vandalism and reckless behavior in public areas threaten community safety and will not be tolerated. These actions will be investigated, and those involved will face full legal consequences. Parents and guardians are encouraged to talk with their children about the possible repercussions of such conduct.
