2 teens arrested after multiple robberies throughout Oxnard

OXNARD, Calif. - Officers with the Oxnard Police Department were dispatched to the 1200 block of South “H” Street in reference to a carjacking that had just occurred.

It happened on Sunday afternoon around 5:50 p.m.

Upon arrival, officers contacted the victim, who said that a man with a handgun, along with another man and woman, had demanded his vehicle.

Fearing for his safety, the victim exited the vehicle and all three suspects entered the vehicle and fled.

While officers were taking the report for the carjacking, the Oxnard Police Department received a call of a hit and run traffic collision in the area of Wooley Road and Commercial Avenue.

Officers responded to the scene and determined the vehicle taken during the carjacking was the same vehicle involved in the hit and run.

Officers began checking the area and located a 15-year-old man of Oxnard and 18-year-old Lesly Ann Geronimo. The subjects attempted to flee on foot but were taken into custody a short distance from where they were originally located.

After officers had both subjects detained, they were contacted by an additional Oxnard resident who advised them that he had been robbed at knife point in the 1200 block of Commercial Avenue. This robbery happened after the hit and run. The 15-year-old juvenile was positively identified as the suspect in that robbery.

During a search of the underage suspect, property belonging to another individual was found.

It was learned that prior to the carjacking, an additional robbery at knife point had happened in the area of Hill Street and “G” Street. The juvenile was ultimately arrested for two separate robberies, the carjacking, and street terrorism (gang enhancement) and was taken into Juvenile Hall.

Geronimo was arrested for her role in the carjacking and was transported to the Ventura County Jail.

One additional suspect is outstanding.

There is no additional information available at this time and the investigation is ongoing.

Any witnesses to the incidents are encouraged to contact Detective Roger Ramirez at (805) 288-3289.
