In connection with ongoing attempts to tackle retail theft, the Vista Sheriff's Station COPPS unit swung into action in early October, carrying out a search warrant at a San Diego home and resulting in two arrests. According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office, the search warrant was executed on October 2, 2025, at a residence on Gold Coast Drive.
Deputies detained Brittany Gomez, born August 8, 1989, and Miguel Dominguez, born October 21, 1973, inside the house, where they discovered several items purloined from major retailers Target and Walmart. The recovered goods boasted an estimated value exceeding $1000. Gomez and Dominguez now face charges including theft of merchandise with intent to sell/exchange over $950, grand theft, and possession of stolen property. They were booked at the Vista Detention Facility.
Authorities are calling on the community for assistance, urging anyone with information to come forward. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department has not disclosed whether they expect to make further arrests.
