Damage to the school facility was estimated at approximately $800. At the school, investigators collected evidence that helped identify three suspects, a 17-year-old girl, an 18-year-old man, and a 15-year-old boy, all residents of Thousand Oaks.
Investigation and Arrests
Detectives with the Thousand Oaks Special Enforcement Unit and Thousand Oaks Directed Enforcement Unit served a search warrant at the 18-year-old’s residence.
