On the afternoon of June 27th, law enforcement officials in Thousand Oaks responded to a robbery at Macy's Men's and Home in The Oaks Mall, where five suspects were apprehended following a high-speed pursuit and manhunt. The Ventura County's Sheriff Communication Center received distress calls revealing two elderly victims had been attacked and robbed by the group, triggering a rapid response from local authorities.

Details provided by the Thousand Oaks Police Department indicate the suspects, consisting of four males and one female juvenile, alongside adults Corey Thomas and Jonathan Requejo initiated a chaotic chase after failing to comply with deputies' instructions. In the fray, a handgun was thrown from the fleeing green sedan and was later discovered by pursuing officers. The chase culminated in Calabasas, where four suspects opted for flight over surrender, though their attempts ultimately led to capture. Senior Deputy Curiel's report further stated that during one of the arrests, authorities found a high-end watch stolen from the male victim, linking the suspects to the crime.

The case has been a joint operation involving multiple law enforcement units including the Thousand Oaks Patrol, Detective Bureau, and the East County Special Enforcement Unit, among others. Charged with robbery, conspiracy, and elder abuse, the juveniles were sent to the Ventura County Juvenile Center while the adults faced additional charges related to the vehicle chase and firearms violations.

Bail for Thomas and Requejo has been set at $100,000 each, with court appearances scheduled for July 1st. In the aftermath of these events, the local police encourage the community to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity by contacting emergency services or using the non-emergency line. Captain Kevin Lynch has approved the booking photo release to maintain transparency and continue rallying community cooperation.
