VCORTTF Cracks Down on Organized Retail Theft at Camarillo Premium Outlets, Four Suspects Arrested

In a notable demonstration of law enforcement collaboration, the Ventura County Organized Retail Theft Task Force (VCORTTF) made several arrests related to theft at the Camarillo Premium Outlets, Ventura County. According to a news release issued by the

Ventura County Sheriff’s Office

, the swift action comes as a measure against the high-profile issue of retail theft which has seen organized groups target stores across the region.

The reported incidents occurred on October 30 and involved four individuals who were apprehended after their alleged crime spree. Cindy Portillo and Julian Rivera, both from Los Angeles, were apprehended with numerous stolen items, including sunglasses and clothing, worth an estimated $1,000. Detectives also found Rivera to have methamphetamine, packaged for sale, alongside marijuana and open containers of alcohol in their vehicle, as reported by the

. Following this duo’s arrest, Ventura County detectives continued surveillance and identified two more suspects, Angel Herrera and Kyla Hernandez of Oxnard, in unrelated theft incidents.

The coordinated efforts of various agencies within Ventura County manifest a united front against this escalating criminal activity. Captured suspects, Portillo and Riveros, face multiple charges, including organized retail theft and child endangerment, as they were allegedly carrying out the illegal activities with a baby present.

Similarly, the additional suspects, Angel Herrera and Kyla Hernandez were arrested with several hundreds of dollars worth of stolen clothing in their possession, with an estimated value, like their counterparts, to be about $1,000. In a troubling revelation, Hernandez was found to have three outstanding felony warrants for identity theft and one misdemeanor warrant for shoplifting. Herrera was no stranger to the law either, with two misdemeanor warrants for narcotics possession and being under the influence of narcotics. Both were booked at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility in Ventura on charges related to grand theft and possession of burglary tools, amidst their outstanding warrants, detailed by the
