Six Teens Arrested After Ventura County Business Hit By Vandalism Spree, Truck Theft

Six teens are in big trouble after investigators say they vandalized some vehicles at a Ventura County business, then stole a truck and fled to the San Fernando Valley.

Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies say the teens broke into the business on the 600 block of Temple Avenue in Camarillo early Monday morning. Officers say after damaging several vehicles, they got a truck started and used it to ram a locked gate to leave the facility. The teens headed into the San Fernando Valley, where they were stopped and arrested just off of Highway 101 in Woodland Hills.

The half dozen 14 through 17 year olds face charges ranging from trespassing to vehicle theft.
