Arrests made in connection to string of burglaries in Ventura

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office executed a pair of arrest warrants Wednesday in connection to a string of residential burglaries in Ventura.

The investigation focused on burglaries in the area north of Telegraph Road and east of Victoria Avenue.

During the course of the investigation, Street Crimes Detectives identified Shannon Salas and Joseph Grizzaffi as potential suspects. The two were arrested in connection to an unrelated burglary in Santa Barbara County. Additional evidence linking the two of them to the Ventura burglaries was recovered during that arrest.

On Wednesday, detectives obtained arrest warrants for Salas and Grizzaffi.

Salas, 43, of Ventura was located on the 6600 block of Telephone Road and was taken into custody. Salas was booked into the Ventura County Jail on suspicion of burglary.

A search of Salas’ residence yielded additional stolen property and narcotics.

Grizzaffi, 42, of Ventura was booked into the Ventura County Jail and faces possible burglary charges.

A third man, Christopher DeLapp, 24, of Simi Valley was located in the residence and booked for an outstanding felony warrant and possession of narcotics for the purpose of sales.
